1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (8 ounce) jar salsa

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook and stir chicken in hot oil until cooked through and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes.
