Chop the vegetables into bite size pieces. Heat a large skillet with the olive oil on medium heat, and add chopped garlic. Cut the chicken into strips. About 1/2 inch x 2 inches. Add the chicken to the hot olive oil and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring to cook on both sides. When the chicken is white, season with the garlic, salt, and pepper.
