Equipment

  • skillet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce optional
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 4 garlic cloves finely minced
  • 1/8 tsp red crushed pepper optional
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley optional

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter melts, add the chicken along with the spices, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken well. 
  • Cook the chicken for about 2 minutes on each side then stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through. It shouldn't take too long. 
  • Stir the chicken and check for seasoning. Garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy! 

Notes

I used boneless skinless chicken breasts but boneless chicken thighs work too. However, chicken thighs will take longer to cook. The safe temperature for cooked chicken is 165 degrees F.
