1
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is well coated. The sauce should be rich and creamy.
