What You’ll Need
- Boneless chicken breast. Cut 1 pound into roughly 1-inch cubes so the pieces cook at the same rate.
- Thinly sliced deli ham. Cut 4 ounces into strips just long enough to wrap around the chicken.
- Swiss cheese. Cut 4 ounces into small squares and tuck each square under the overlap of the ham or secure it on top.
How to Assemble the Bites
Wrap a strip of ham around each chicken cube and use a plain wooden toothpick to secure the ham and cheese. Leave a little space between the bites on the baking sheet so the exposed ham edges can brown.
How to Tell When the Chicken Is Done
Start checking at 20 minutes. Insert an instant-read thermometer into the center of several of the largest chicken cubes. The chicken should reach 165°F (74°C), and the Swiss should be melted. Let the bites rest for a few minutes before serving.
