  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken; cook, flipping once, until the chicken is browned and crispy and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 165°F, 10 to 12 minutes. 

  • Add the sauce to the pan, turning the chicken to coat; cook over medium-low heat until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Remove the chicken from the pan; drizzle with any remaining sauce. Garnish with scallions, if desired.
