Add 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) water. Stir to combine. Cover and cook for 5-6 min, stirring occasionally, until tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Pan-fry on one side for 6-7 min, until golden. Flip, then cover and continue cooking for 6-7 min, until cooked through.**
Transfer chicken to a plate.
To the same pan, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and protein shreds. Cook 2-3 min, stirring occasionally.
