Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced onion to the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until it starts to soften and turn translucent.
If using, add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the chicken fillet pieces to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly golden.
Stir in the sliced bell pepper and zucchini. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Season with salt, black pepper, and if using, dried oregano or thyme. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious, homemade lunch!
