Mix well, and tightly close the container. Marinate in the fridge for 24 hours. You can marinate it for less time but not less than 12 hours.
Remove the bay leaves from the mixture and drain any excess marinate liquid.
Sauté the chicken in a non-stick pan. you will notice that it will release juices, keep tossing until the juices evaporate and the chicken is well cooked.
Note: If your chicken releases a lot of juices and you notice that the chicken is cooked but not all the juices have evaporated and you don’t want to wait, just drain the excess juices in the sink and toss the chicken in the pan for a minute before serving.
