Quick Chicken Cheesesteak Skillet

Quick Chicken Cheesesteak Skillet

This hearty skillet meal is packed with flavor and comes together in under 30 minutes!

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
• 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Hamburger buns (optional)

Cooking Guide:

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
3. Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and add the remaining olive oil. Increase the heat to high and add the chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir the vegetables back into the pan with the chicken. Season with Italian seasoning, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
5. Reduce heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the mixture. Cover the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve immediately on hamburger buns (optional) or over rice.

Tips:

• For added flavor, marinate the chicken in Italian dressing or Worcestershire sauce for 15 minutes before cooking.
• You can use any type of bell pepper you like, or a combination of colors.
• If you don’t have provolone cheese, you can substitute mozzarella, cheddar, or another melty cheese.
• To make this dish low-carb, serve it over cauliflower rice or lettuce wraps.
• Add other vegetables to the skillet, such as mushrooms, broccoli florets, or zucchini.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Enjoy this quick and easy weeknight meal!
