1. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pan. Sprinkle with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender.
