Chicken Cheesesteak Skillet
Description
The Chicken Cheesesteak Skillet uses olive oil to sauté thinly sliced peppers and onions until very tender and lightly caramelized. The chicken breast slices cook with Italian seasoning and smoked paprika, developing a browned exterior while staying juicy inside. Returning the peppers and onions to the pan unites the flavors and textures.
Shredded provolone cheese melts over the mixture when covered briefly, adding a creamy and mild sharpness that complements the savory, slightly smoky chicken and sweet bell peppers. The dish balances tender vegetables, browned meat, and gooey cheese in one skillet.
This skillet meal can serve as a main dish paired with bread, rice, or pasta, or be used as a filling for sandwiches or wraps. It offers a straightforward way to enjoy classic cheesesteak flavors with lean chicken and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 yellow onion halved and thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 1/4 pounds chicken breast thinly sliced, boneless, skinless
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- kosher salt fresh ground, to taste
- black pepper fresh ground, to taste
- 1 cup provolone cheese shredded
Instructions
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot add in the sliced peppers, onion, and plenty of salt and pepper. Sauté the vegetables until they are very tender and then remove them from the skillet and onto a plate.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced chicken in along with the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Move it around so that it's in a single layer and then let it cook without moving it for a couple minutes so that it browns.
- Continue to sauté the meat until it's fully cooked then add the onions, peppers and any juices left on the plate back into the skillet. Stir everything together and top it with the shredded provolone cheese.
- Cover the skillet with a lid until the cheese has melted and then serve.
