Steps
Step 1
Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat and spray with olive oil or coconut oil.

Add the chicken and cook it in the skillet for about 5 minutes, until the outside is no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Using the same skillet, add ghee and let it melt. Then, toss in onion, ginger and garlic. Let it cook for about 2 minutes and be careful not to let the garlic burn.
