  6. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and honey.
  7. Add chicken pieces to the marinade and toss until well coated.
  8. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prep other ingredients.
  9. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil.
  10. Add marinated chicken chunks in a single layer; do not overcrowd.
  11. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through.
