Method

1. Cut the chicken breast into small, even cubes of about 1.5 cm to ensure quick and uniform cooking.
2. Place the chicken cubes in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water.
3. Cover and steam over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until the meat is white and firm but still juicy.
4. While the chicken cooks, whisk the lemon juice with the extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of black pepper in a small bowl.
5. Transfer the cooked chicken to the bowl while still warm and toss well to let it absorb the dressing.
6. Finely chop the fresh chives and sprinkle them over the chicken bites.
7. Let the bites cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tips

• For maximum tenderness, don't overcook the chicken; it should stay moist inside.
• Store these bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days for a ready-to-eat snack.
