Ingredients

  • 1.5 Tbsp olive oil (22g) divided
  • 1.25 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion (250g) thinly sliced
  • 3 medium bell peppers (315g) thinly sliced - I used a red, orange and yellow
  • 4 cloves garlic minced - or 1 Tbsp minced
  • 2 Tbsp ranch seasoning mix (14g)
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper or to taste
  • 3/4 cup shredded white cheddar cheese (84g)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and add 3/4 Tbsp (11g) of the olive oil. Set to medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate (this helps prevent overcrowding) and wipe the skillet down if needed.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Spray the skillet with cooking spray and add the remaining olive oil. Add the onions, peppers, garlic, ranch seasoning mix, salt and pepper. Saute the vegetables until tender, adjusting heat as needed so they don’t burn.
  4. Stir the cooked chicken back into the skillet. Taste test and add more salt, pepper, or seasoning as needed. Remove from heat.
  5. Sprinkle it with shredded cheese and cover the skillet until the cheese has melted.
  6. Serve in a hoagie or wrap, pair with some veggies or rice, or eat over a bed of greens, with cauliflower rice or by itself for a lower carb meal.

Notes

  • To make dairy-free: sub ranch seasoning mix for 2 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp paprika and salt and pepper to taste. Sub cheese for dairy-free alternative or omit completely.
