¼ tsp salt

Step 1

Place a large oven-proof skillet on a stove over medium heat, then add the olive oil, and heat it before adding the chopped onion and cubed chicken. Stir and cook them for about 5 minutes or until they start to brown a bit, then season them with salt and pepper to taste, add the garlic, and continue to cook for 30 more seconds or until fragrant.
