This is a great way to have chicken on hand for various meals throughout the week. I buy a large pack of chicken breasts, cut them into small cubes, marinate them and leave them in the fridge as they can usually last a good 4-5 days before the "use or freeze by" date. They remain handy in the fridge to be pan fried on demand for use to top off a salad, add to rice, pasta or whatever side you like! It's an easy recipe and saves me so much time during the week as well as allows me to have something nutritious with great macros on deck!

Instructions

Step 1

Cut chicken breasts into about 1.5 inch cubes and place into a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add all ingredients listed above and mix well.

Step 3

At this point you can cover and store the chicken in the fridge until you're ready to cook it.

Step 4

When ready to cook, use a nonstick pan and set the heat to medium/high (6-8 out of 10 on a stovetop).

Step 5

Add one teaspoon of cooking oil or spray the pan with nonstick spray.

Step 6

When the pan is hot, place chicken chunks on the pan with some space in between each breast. Be careful not to overcrowd them or you will not get the golden crust on the chicken.

Step 7

Once the chicken starts to brown (about 5 minutes), flip the pieces over to brown the other side.

Step 8

Leave the chicken cooking uncovered for about 5 minutes to get a nice brown color on the other side, then cover the chicken to cook for 5 more minutes.

Step 9

Check that the internal temp of your chicken is at least 165°F and it's ready to be enjoyed!

Step 10

Add it to a salad, rice, pasta, or even enjoy it stand alone!
