In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, cumin, and garlic powder. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat, let it cool for a few minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
