For the juiciest chicken, we use our go-to method for cooking chicken breast. Brown one side of the chicken in a pan, flip it, turn the heat down to low, and cover with a lid. Cooking the chicken over low heat with the lid helps to keep the chicken moist and tender inside. We do this for juicy pork chops , too! Next, transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover with foil while preparing the steak and shrimp.
Use the same pan you used to cook the chicken in to cook the steak. Strip steak or flank steak is straightforward to cook. Cook it on both sides until brown on the outside and slightly pink on the inside. We cook our steak to medium, which means an internal thermometer will read close to degrees F.
Transfer the steak to the plate with chicken and cover with foil to rest. Both cook quickly. Start with the vegetables. Sliced onions and peppers are a must. Just throw them into the same pan and cook until they begin to soften. Just as the peppers and onions finish, move them to one side of the pan and add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp until the shrimp are firm and opaque throughout.
For the last step, we enhance the sauce in the pan with some extra liquid. If you have some in the house, adding a splash of tequila or a light beer works wonders. Otherwise, use a splash of chicken stock. To serve, slice the steak and chicken, then add to the pan with shrimp and vegetables. Adding the sliced chicken and steak directly into the skillet will reheat them. Then all you need to do is enjoy it!

Set the steak and shrimp aside while you cook the chicken. Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a wide skillet with a lid, or you can use foil over medium-high heat.
As soon as the oil is hot and looks shimmery, add the chicken. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the chicken so that the seared side is facing up. Reduce the heat to low, then cover the skillet with a lid or use foil.
Cook 10 to 15 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the breast. Transfer chicken to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Pour any liquid left in the pan out and use a paper towel to wipe the bottom of the skillet. It is okay if there are bits of chicken or spices stuck to the bottom. If you want to, you can save the liquid to add back to the pan later. Put the skillet back onto the heat, increase to medium-high heat, and add another two teaspoons of oil.
As soon as the oil is hot and looks shimmery, add the steak. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until brown, and then flip to the other side and let cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Check the internal temperature.
