Instructions
1. Pat the cubed chicken breasts completely dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
2. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
3. Season the chicken cubes evenly with 1/2 teaspoon of the kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper.
4. Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

7. Reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the remaining oil. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
