Chicken Cheesesteak Skillet


Description

Craving the flavors of Philly without the bread? This one-pan wonder delivers all the cheesy, savory goodness with half the carbs and twice the flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 6 slices provolone cheese (about 6 oz)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts into thin strips and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken in batches until just done, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
  2. In the same skillet, add remaining oil and sauté onions for 3-4 minutes until beginning to soften. Add bell peppers and cook for another 4-5 minutes until vegetables start to caramelize.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and add Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet along with any accumulated juices and toss to combine with the vegetables and seasonings.
  6. Arrange provolone slices over the top of the mixture. Cover the skillet and cook on low for 1-2 minutes until cheese is completely melted.
  7. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
