Heat the oil in a large wok and add the chicken breasts. Season them with salt and pepper and sauté them for about 5 minutes or until they begin to brown.

Add garlic to the wok and fry for 30 seconds, making sure that it does not burn. Add vegetables and mix them through the chicken.

Cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables have softened but are still crunchy and fresh. By this point, the chicken will be cooked through, and you can remove the wok from heat.
