1. Cook the Vegetables

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Cook for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to combine.


3. Add Chicken

Add the shredded chicken breasts to the skillet.
Stir well so everything is evenly mixed.

4. Season

Season generously with your preferred spices.
Simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.


5. Serve

Serve hot on its own, over cauliflower rice, or wrapped in lettuce cups.
