  3. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Lightly grease a bowl, place the dough inside, cover, and let rise for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.

  2. Mix marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add cubed chicken and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook marinated chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes until fully cooked.
