Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter.
- Season the chicken on both sides with ⅛ teaspoon of salt and ⅛ teaspoon of pepper. Cook in the skillet for about 6 minutes, until fully cooked. Transfer the chicken to a plate, cover, and set aside.
- Add olive oil to the same skillet. Add the onions and peppers, season with the remaining salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until softened.
