Ingredients
-
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
-
2 green bell peppers, sliced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1¼ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
1½ cups provolone cheese, grated
-
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and bell peppers; sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic in the last minute, stirring frequently. Remove vegetables from skillet and set aside.
-
Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Add thinly sliced chicken, season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the chicken. Stir to combine and heat through for 2 minutes.
-
Sprinkle grated provolone cheese evenly over the skillet contents. Cover and let cheese melt, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve hot as is or with your favorite sides.
Notes
-
For extra flavor, add sliced mushrooms or substitute provolone with mozzarella or cheddar.
-
Great served over rice, pasta, or inside toasted hoagie rolls for a classic sandwich feel.
- Adjust seasoning with extra Italian herbs or crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
