Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Squeeze lime juice over the chicken and add a little oil.

6

Let the chicken marinate for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator, covered.

In a disposable baking pan, add the marinated chicken and sauté it without adding additional oil, as there's already oil in the chicken.

Cook the chicken until it turns white and is fully cooked, ensuring not to overcook it to avoid dryness.

10

Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a baking pan for serving.
