In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken from the pan and tent with foil.
2 tablespoons olive oil
Add the butter to the pan (no need to clean it first). Once melted, add the onion, ginger, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes.
