4. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken, coating well.
5. In a medium nonstick frying pan, heat the butter over medium heat.
6. Add the chicken, shaking the pan a little as you add each piece to prevent the chicken from sticking.
7. Cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until both sides are crispy and brown and cooked through.
