- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced

Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute, then transfer to a large bowl. Add chicken to onion mixture along with cheese.
