Ingredients

Chicken Seasoning

  • 3 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts bite size pieces
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Butter Sauce

  • 1 tsp Avocado Oil
  • 1/2 Cup Salted Butter divided
  • 1/2 Cup Fat Free Chicken Broth
  • 2 tsp Jarred Minced Garlic
  • 2 TBSP Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1 1/2 TBSP Sriracha Sauce
  • Frozen vegetable of choice

Instructions

  1. Cut your chicken breasts into bite size pieces. Place in a large bowl and add your salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.

  2. In your cast iron or large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter and the tsp of avocado oil. Make sure you have your stove on medium low heat. You do not want to burn your butter.

  3. Thoroughly cook your bite sizes pieces of chicken in your skillet, browning each side. Add 1 tsp of the jarred minced garlic and your oregano. Cook for about 30 seconds or 1 minute longer and then remove from your skillet and set aside.

  4. Next you need to add your remaining 1 tsp of jarred minced garlic and the chicken broth to your skillet. Increase the temperature slightly. Now add the remaining 1/4 cup butter, lemon juice, and sriracha.

  5. Add your frozen vegetables of choice. I had broccoli on hand so I went with that. Cook until it is heated through. Add the chicken back in and cook for a about a minute or so, making sure the chicken gets coated nicely with the sauce.
