Prepare the chicken. Cut the chicken into larger cubes, season with salt, sprinkle with a little seasoning, and drizzle lightly with oil.

Saute the onion and garlic. Set the meat aside and saute the onion and garlic in the same pan in butter over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and slightly softened.
