Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil

- 1 ½ pounds about 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ¾-inch chunks

Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the oil, butter, and onions and cook onions down until lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and let cook for 30 seconds, stirring so it doesn’t burn.
