  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

  6. Serve the dish garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
