This is an easy/peasy recipe to make, and if you have a chicken breast lurking about your fridge or freezer, you probably have everything else you need to make this yummy recipe. The peppers and hot sauce give it a bit of a spicy kick... but not too much. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

If you have a skillet that is large enough to hold all the ingredients, you can cook it up a single pan.
Step 3

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Step 4

Cut the chicken into strips or cubes, and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
Step 5

Add the butter to a skillet over medium heat.

When the butter has melted, toss in the chicken.
Step 7

Turn once or twice until cooked, and starting to brown, about 4 - 5 minutes.
Step 8

Remove the chicken and reserve.
Step 9

Toss in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 10

Add the red pepper, paprika, and hot sauce, then cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Step 11

Add the chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to blend the fonds in with the sauce.

Do a final tasting for proper seasoning.
