Ingredients
- 2 Tbsps olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 lbs chicken breasts or tenders boneless and skinless, cut into 1-inch cubes
- sea salt and pepper to taste
- 1 large onion chopped
- 6 cloves fresh garlic, chopped
- 1/2 cup red wine

- Cook until the chicken starts to nicely brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the onion and garlic then cook for another 2-3 minutes until they soften.
- Add the wine to deglaze the skillet, allowing it to bubble until almost fully reduced, stirring constantly.
- Add the chili flakes, and saute for a few seconds then add the remaining ingredients to your skillet and stir to combine well.
