Preparation steps
1.
Rinse chicken under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; saute chicken, stirring frequently until cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
