    Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat because we're about to bring the heat literally. Season 2 pounds of skinless, boneless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces) with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (feel free to season to your soul's content) and saut until golden and lightly crisped on the edges—about 6-8 minutes.
  3. 3
    Once your chicken's living its golden-hour fantasy, scoop it out onto a plate and set aside. In the same skillet, toss in 1 small chopped onion and let it sweat until soft and fragrant, followed by 3 cloves of minced garlic—stir until the aroma hits your nose like a savory love letter.
