Instructions

Step 1: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves and 1 tsp dried red chili flakes, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but garlic is not browned.
Step 2: Add 1 lb cubed boneless chicken breast to the skillet, spreading out evenly, and cook over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes without stirring to get a light sear.
Step 3: Stir the chicken pieces, season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes until chicken is cooked through and edges are lightly golden.
Step 4: Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the chicken before serving.
