Cook the Chicken
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chicken breast, season with salt and pepper, and cook until fully cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before shredding.

Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
