Paprika, 1 teaspoon
Black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon
Oil, 2 tablespoons
Salt, to taste
Instructions
Pat cubed chicken dry with paper towels
Combine paprika, black pepper, and salt on a plate
Toss chicken cubes until evenly coated
Set aside while preheating the skillet
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until oil shimmers
