Ingredients
- 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, medium dice
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley, chiffonade
- 1/2 lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
In a sauté pan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for about one minute or until they begin to brown.
Raise the heat to high and add the chicken, lemon juice, and paprika.
Stir well, then sauté, stirring briskly until the chicken is browned.
Lower the heat and allow to cook until the chicken is done and no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and transfer chicken with oil and sauce to a warm plate or serve right from the pan. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle with parsley.
