Time: PT10M
Make Marinade

Heat the large skillet over medium‑high heat, add a splash of oil, and once hot, add the bell peppers and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until softened but still crisp.

Cook First Batch of Chicken
Remove the vegetables and set aside. Add a thin layer of oil to the same skillet, then add half of the marinated chicken in a single layer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring once, until the chicken is opaque and just cooked through.
