Season the chicken pieces with the taco seasoning, either on the board, making sure you flip them over to get all the sides, or in a medium bowl where it will be easier to toss to coat with the seasoning.

Add the chicken pieces in an even layer and cook them without moving them from where you placed them (undisturbed) for 4 minutes. Use kitchen tongs to flip the pieces over and cook them for 3 more minutes, until the cubed chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature of the largest piece reads 165F. Remove from heat.
