    In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow it to heat up for about 1 minute.

    Add the diced chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

    While the chicken is cooking, mince 3 cloves of garlic and set aside.
