    Start by preparing your ingredients. Chop the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, dice the bell pepper, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.

    3

    Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and cooked through.
