- Preheat cast-iron skillet over med-high heat. Add 1 tbsp of avocado oil and the chicken. Spread meat evenly across the pan and cook undisturbed until browned (approx. 6-8min).

I’ve made this a few times and it’s absolutely the real deal with zero fuss. The garlic sauce is unbelievably easy and so good I’m always making it to have on hand. Just seeing this is a reminder it’s been too long since I made this, so to my upcoming meal plan it goes.
