Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink.
