In a large nonstick pan, heat up oil over high heat. Add chicken and toss for 3-4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

Now add the chicken back. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Turn off the heat and toss everything in the pan quickly.
