  • Marinate chicken: Place the cubed chicken in a Ziploc bag and then pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes but no longer than overnight.

Pan-fry the chicken for 7 to 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a clean plate. Keep the cooked chicken covered as you work through the remaining.
