1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and chop the vegetables. Dice the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
