Cooking
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season them with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
