Step-By-Step Instructions:

Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper. Heat 2 tsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add the onion and the remaining 1 tsp oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are softened, about 5 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet and heat through.
