Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed in ½-inch pieces
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Mix paprika, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the seasoning over the cubed chicken and toss to get it coated on all sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute for 5-6 minutes.
- Stir and turn the chicken pieces over and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until cooked through.
- Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the chicken and serve!
Notes
Serving ideas: Serve over steamed rice and drizzle any extra sauce over everything. Or serve with couscous, orzo, or baked or roasted potatoes. Add your favorite steamed veggie or a small side salad and dinner is done!
Leftovers: Leftovers, once cooled, will keep for up to 5 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Reheat in a skillet on the stove over medium-low heat or in the microwave. The small chicken pieces and the sauce help ensure they heat quickly and don’t dry out too much.
I also love using leftovers to make these chicken hummus bowls.
