• 2 heat a skillet over medium high heat and add 2 of the 4 tablespoons of butter. add the onions, peppers and the remaining tablespoon of seasoning mix and sauté until onions are caramelized. remove vegetable mixture and set aside. add remaining butter to the skillet and sauté the chicken breast until cooked through, turning once. this may need to be done in batches.
