Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet or Pan

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Approx. 2 Chicken Breasts and Thinly sliced prior to cooking
  • 1 Yellow Onion Sliced in strips
  • 1 Bell Pepper (any color) Sliced in strips
  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil Divided tablespoons (will use each tbsp seperately)
  • 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp. Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp. Paprika
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 4 Slices Provolone Cheese OR 1 Cup of Shredded Provolone

Instructions

  • Prep the meat and veggies. With a sharp knife, trim off any excess fat on your chicken breast and slice into thin slices. The thinness of the chicken strips is really based upon your personal preference. Slice the bell pepper and yellow onion into strips.
  • Heat up half of the olive oil in a large skillet or pan and add in the bell pepper and yellow onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a few minutes until tender on medium-high heat. Once the peppers and onions have cooked to your preference, remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add the remaining olive oil in the pan and add in the chicken slices. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika so the chicken is coated evenly. Continue to cook on medium-high heat for about5-8 minutes. The length of cooking depends on the amount of chicken you have and the thickness. Cook until you have fully cooked and tender chicken.
    OPTIONAL: DRAIN EXCESS JUICE FROM PAN AFTER CHICKEN HAS FULLY COOKED
  • Turn the heat to medium-low. Add back in the peppers and onions and mix everything together. Add in the provolone cheese and continue mixing until cheese has melted. To speed up the process, cover the skillet or pan with a lid or aluminum foil until you have melted cheese. 
  • Serve on your favorite bun, wrap, salad, or whatever you prefer and ENJOY!!
