Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, I start by heating the olive oil in my large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, I add the chicken pieces, ensuring they’re cooked through and beautifully golden brown, which should take about 5-7 minutes. I love how the chicken starts to sizzle and the delicious aroma fills my kitchen at this point! Just remember to stir it occasionally to prevent sticking. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
