Pesto for the cooked chicken

Mix all and allow chicken to marinate for 30 min. or longer. Heat some olive oil in a pan on med-high heat and begin browning the stips, in batches if needed. Keep warm until all the chicken is brown a has a little crisp to it and is cooked through, about 10 minutes or so. Put all the chicken back in the warm pan and add 1/4-1/2 cup of pesto, jarred or fresh made. Stir and allow the flavors to combine over a low heat.
