In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with salt and black pepper to taste and add them to the hot skillet, cooking until they reach a minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Serve with fresh cilantro and grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
