2. Saute the Chicken: Heat the pan and add olive oil. Put the diced chicken breasts in the pan, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and cook over high heat. Saute until the chicken is golden and cooked through, then set aside.
3. Prepare the Ajvar Sauce: In the same skillet, lightly sauté the finely chopped garlic. Then add the Ajvar sauce and cook the sauce over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring. If you want to make the sauce creamier, add the cream at this stage and stir well to thicken the sauce.
