Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thinly
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup provolone cheese
  • Toast or bread (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Slice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips ensuring even cooking and tender texture.
  2. Heat the skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot and shimmering.
  3. Cook the chicken: Add the chicken strips to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through and has a golden brown exterior.
  4. Add vegetables: Toss in the sliced onions and both red and green bell peppers. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables become tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Melt the cheese: Sprinkle the provolone cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover the pan and let it cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt thoroughly and blend with the savory chicken and vegetables.
  6. Serve: Serve the cheesy chicken and vegetable mixture on its own as a satisfying meal or scoop it onto toasted bread or toast to enjoy as a flavorful sandwich.

Notes

  • Use fresh chicken breasts for the best flavor and texture.
  • Feel free to swap provolone with other melting cheeses that fit your dietary preferences.
  • To make it a complete sandwich, toast your bread lightly before loading it with the chicken cheese mixture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to preserve the cheese melt and moisture.
