    If you have a skillet that is large enough to hold all the ingredients, you can cook it up a single pan.
  • 3

  • 4
    Cut the chicken into strips or cubes, and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
  • 5
    Add the butter to a skillet over medium heat.

    Turn once or twice until cooked, and starting to brown, about 4 - 5 minutes.
  • 8
    Remove the chicken and reserve.
  • 9
    Toss in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • 10
    Add the red pepper, paprika, and hot sauce, then cook for an additional 30 seconds.
