Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer and cook for 4–5 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is opaque throughout with no pink at the center and reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into small pieces.
