  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Mix together flour and remaining packet taco seasoning in a shallow dish or plate. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Dredge chicken in flour mixture.
