These Chicken Caprese Bites are a fun and easy appetizer to make for any holiday gatherings or just for a fun supper with kids!

Do your kids like food on sticks? Mine do! I’m loving that this little recipe turned out to be such a hit. My son was all about poking each tomato with the bamboo toothpick. They really thought that this was so cool that it was their supper.

As I made this, the wheels in my head were turning as I envisioned making so many meat and veggie combinations to get my kids eating more of a variety of foods. If a stick helps make supper more enticing, then lets do it!

But it wasn’t just the stick that made this recipe so good. The chicken was de-li-cious! It was sauteed in I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!^® spread giving it a wonderful flavor. Each mini-bite was juicy and tender. Normally I shy away from sauteing in butter because it can burn, but this I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!^® spread held up really well ! The chicken cooked beautifully in it! .
