- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors), chopped

Instructions
- 1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add cubed chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
