In a skillet, heat oil I medium flame and add the chicken to the skillet and stir it occasionally. Make sure that the chicken is cooked through and evenly done. This should take about 5 to 10 minutes depending on the quality of the chicken. Add the mushrooms, onions, bell pepper, garlic and other ingredients and cook until they are soft.
