Steps
1
Prep your chicken by removing any skin and cutting them into 1-inch cubed pieces.
2
Place the chicken into a food storage container, sprinkle with salt, and mix to make sure it’s coated thoroughly.
3
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, soy sauce, agave, five spice, ginger powder, and garlic powder. Mix until incorporated.
4
Pour the marinade over the chicken and coat thoroughly. Cover with the lid and place it in the fridge. Marinade for 4 hours, mixing the chicken at the halfway point for even absorption. Then remove chicken from fridge 30 minutes before cooking to let it come to room temperature on the counter.
5
In a saute pan over medium heat, add one tablespoon of oil.
6
Cook the chicken in batches. Add the chicken to the pan in an even layer without crowding. Let it sear for about 1-2 minutes or until it lifts itself from the pan. Add more oil if necessary. Turn over and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
7
Chicken is done when it reaches 165 °F internally with a thermometer.
8
Transfer to a plate and add optional toppings. Serve.
