Steps:
- 1. Using a pair of kitchen scissors, cut the chicken into bite size chunks. Place several large pats of butter in the bottom of a 12" frying pan. Add the chicken chunks and liberally sprinkle the Mrs. Dash and the Seasoning Salt onto chicken. Cook over medium-ish heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. I typically serve them with flavored rice or stuffing, and corn-on-the-cob.

Tips:
- To ensure your chicken chunks are cooked evenly, cut them into uniform sizes.
- Use a large skillet or pot to prevent overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.
- If you're using a marinade, be sure to let the chicken soak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- When cooking the chicken, avoid stirring it too frequently. This can break up the chunks and make them less tender.
- To achieve a crispy exterior, cook the chicken over medium-high heat until it's golden brown.
- If you're using a sauce, add it to the chicken towards the end of cooking to prevent it from burning.
