Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 lbs Boneless skinless chicken breasts Cut into 1 1/4-inch pieces.
  • 2 Tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt To taste.
  • Freshly ground black pepper To taste.

  3. Sprinkle the flour, Italian seasoning, and desired amount of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the chicken. Toss well to evenly coat.
