Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1 yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
Chicken and Seasoning
- 1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Kosher salt to taste
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Other
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced yellow onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper generously, then sauté the vegetables until they are very tender, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- Cook Chicken: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts along with Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper. Spread chicken in a single layer and allow it to cook undisturbed for a couple of minutes to brown. Continue sautéing, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through, about 8 minutes total.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the sautéed onions, peppers, and any accumulated juices on the plate back to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Stir everything together well to combine.
- Melt Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese evenly over the mixture in the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese has melted completely, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve: Once the cheese is melted, remove the skillet from heat and serve the Chicken Cheesesteak Skillet hot for a delicious and hearty meal.
Notes
- Thinly slicing the chicken breasts helps them cook quickly and evenly.
- You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or cheddar if desired.
- For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic when cooking the vegetables.
- Serve with crusty bread or over rice for a more filling meal.
- If you prefer less salt, reduce the amount of kosher salt accordingly.
