    In a medium mixing bowl, add the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, paprika, salt and a crack of black pepper. Whisk to combine and add the chicken. Add a couple tablespoons olive oil and stir to fully coat.

    In a wide skillet, add a little oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Add the diced onion. Season with a pinch of salt and let it sauté for a couple of minutes. Make room in the center and add the seasoned chicken to the pan in a single layer. Let this sear for two minutes. Flip around and sear another two minutes. Add the garlic to the pan, along with a splash of stock to loosen any browned bits. Sauté for 30 seconds, letting the garlic bloom. It will all so fragrant right now. You will cry.
