Chicken Cheesesteak Skillet
Description
This skillet recipe begins by sautéing a mix of thinly sliced bell peppers—red, green, and yellow—with yellow onion until tender, then adding garlic for aromatic depth. The vegetables are set aside while thin slices of chicken breast are cooked with Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, onion powder, oregano, soy sauce, salt, and pepper, allowing for even browning and flavor infusion.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, the sautéed vegetables and any accumulated juices are added back to the skillet and combined. The dish is completed by topping with shredded provolone cheese and covering briefly so the cheese melts into a creamy layer that coats the ingredients below.
This skillet can be served as a hearty main dish and pairs well with bread or alongside simple sides. The use of provolone cheese and the blend of herbs and spices give a flavorful depth and cheesesteak-style character using chicken rather than beef.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 yellow onion thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1/2 green bell pepper thinly sliced

Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add one tablespoon of oil.

- Next, add the minced garlic and saute for another minute. Transfer the veggies to a plate.
- Add the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Once the oil is hot add the sliced chicken, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Distribute the chicken in a single layer and let it cook without moving it for a couple of minutes so it browns.
- Sauté the meat until, add the soy sauce, and cook until the meat is fully cooked.
- Then add back to the skillet the onion and peppers and any juices left on the plate. Stir everything together and top it with the shredded provolone cheese.
