  2. Heat the olive oil in apan and pan fry the chicken for 3 minutes on either side, or until light golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately with a side of hummjus and pita bread.

Notes

Bake it. I make this stove top for ease, but you can roast this in the oven at 380 F for 25-30 minutes. throw in some tomato and onions wedges with a drizzle of olive oil and bake till golden brown. 
Variations. I use breast meat because of picky eaters, but this would be great with skinless  chicken thighs.
