Notes

Stovetop Method: Cook chicken in a skillet with 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until browned on all sides, about 8 - 10 minutes.
Mix sauce ingredients together in a bowl, pour over chicken and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring to coat chicken in sauce.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
Reheat in a skillet over medium heat with 1 - 2 tablespoons of water. Cook, stirring often until heated through, about 5 minutes.
