- In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it’s translucent, stirring occasionally.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken pieces. Sprinkle the paprika and black pepper over the chicken, mixing well. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
