  3. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  2. Season with a little salt and pepper, and sauté for about 10-12 minutes until cooked through and crispy on the outside.
  3. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  2. Stir well to combine, and let simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Combining Everything

  2. Allow everything to heat together for a couple of minutes.
Serving

Notes

For a lighter version, swap cream for Greek yogurt. Ensure the skillet is hot enough to achieve beautiful golden chicken. Avoid rushing the sautéing process for best results.
