Cut the chicken breast fillets into equal pieces and fry in oil for about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Cut the sun-dried tomatoes into strips and the olives into slices. Also cut the grilled bell pepper into strips. Mix the balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, a little sugar, and oregano to make a dressing, then fold in the olive oil. Mix the chicken breast with the tomatoes, olives, and bell peppers, pour the dressing over the top, and mix well. Season to taste. Finally, sprinkle the chives on top.

This dish can also be prepared a day in advance, but then omit the chives.
