- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

- Prep oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cook chicken. In an oven proof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat. When oil begins to shimmer, add chicken pieces and sear on both sides (1- 2 minutes per side).
