For the Chicken:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Recipe
- Prep the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Ensure chicken is fully covered with the seasoning.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until fully cooked, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
