Method

1. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized chunks.
2. Clean the bell peppers, removing seeds and internal membranes, then slice them into strips.
3. In a large non-stick pan, sauté the whole garlic clove with the olive oil over medium heat for 2 minutes.
4. Add the chicken chunks and brown them for 5 minutes until golden on all sides.
5. Add the peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, and olives to the pan.
6. Cover with a lid and cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, allowing the vegetables to release their juices.
7. Adjust with salt and pepper, remove the garlic, and serve hot.

Tips

• If the sauce dries out too much, add a splash of water or chicken broth to keep it moist.
• This dish tastes even better the next day as the flavors have more time to meld.
