- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add pepitas to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 3-4 min. Transfer to a small bowl.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat same pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Pan-fry on one side until golden, 6-7 min. Flip, then cover and continue cooking, until cooked through, 6-7 min.** Wipe out pan.

- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Return the same pan over medium-high.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
