Ingredients
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound), cut into 1/2-inch wide strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breast strips in a medium bowl.
Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the chicken strips. Toss well to evenly coat all pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the chicken strips for 4 to 5 minutes without moving them, allowing a golden crust to form.
Flip the chicken strips and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
