Step 3: Cube & sear the chicken

  • The chicken

    • chicken breasts
      , cubed
      1per 1-2 servings
    • spice rub of choice
      to taste
    • salt
      to taste
    • cooking oil
      for searing

Cut the chicken breast into small, even cubes.

  • Smaller pieces = faster cooking and more surface area for seasoning.

Heat a pan over high heat, then add a small drizzle of oil. Add the chicken and let it undisturbed to develop .

Once one side is browned, add your spice rub (+ salt, if your spice mix isn’t salty) and toss to coat.

Continue searing until fully cooked through, about 4–5 minutes total. Reduce heat or add a splash of water if anything threatens to burn.

  • Taste and adjust final seasoning with salt, if needed.
