Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Cayenne pepper to taste

  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat.
  • Season the chicken with the chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the chicken to the heated skillet, and saute until cooked through completely. Remove and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the onions. Saute until the onions have softened.
