Instructions
- Marinating the chicken: In a large bowl, add all marinade ingredients except the chicken and stir until well-mixed. Add chicken chunks and stir to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Sautéing the chicken: Heat a wide 3 quart or larger pan over medium-high heat for a few minutes until hot. Add chicken chunks and any marinade sticking to them. Saute until the chicken is cooked on the outside, a few minutes, stirring and flipping occasionally. Add jalapeño (or cayenne) and garlic to the same pan. Stir with the chicken and cook until aromatic, about a minute.
