Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons light olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut chicken into small chunks.
  • Place chicken into gallon baggie with flour. Turn to coat chicken.
  • Heat olive oil in a nice size skillet with lid. When oil is semi hot, shake off excess flour from chicken and place into the oil. Do not worry about stacking the chicken. Put on lid and let cook for about 7 minutes. Stirring occasionally to cook evenly.
  • Remove from heat when brown and serve.

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs: This will make the chicken chunks more tender and easier to cook.
  • Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs: This will add flavor to the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken in a hot skillet with a little oil: This will help to brown the chicken and keep it moist.
  • Stir the chicken frequently while cooking: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the skillet and burning.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the chicken to retain its juices.

Conclusion:

Chicken chunks are a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They can be grilled, roasted, baked, or fried. They can also be added to salads, soups, and stews. No matter how you choose to cook them, chicken chunks are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
