Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
