Prepare 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts by removing the tenderloin and any excess fat, then cut the breasts in half.

Place the chicken in a bowl or Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it.

Gently stir or massage the chicken to ensure it is fully coated with the marinade.

Refrigerate the marinated chicken for 2 hours to overnight.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add avocado oil.

Place the marinated chicken in the skillet without crowding and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on one side.

Flip the chicken and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes on the other side until done.

Remove the cooked chicken to a plate and keep warm, adding more oil to the pan if needed for the next batch.
