# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced thinly against the grain
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
03 -
1 red bell pepper, sliced
04 -
1 green bell pepper, sliced
05 -
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
06 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
07 -
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

6 slices provolone cheese
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Slice chicken breasts thinly against the grain. Slice bell peppers and onion into strips.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6–8 minutes until softened and caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.
03 -
In the same skillet, add chicken slices in a single layer. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to brown, then stir and continue cooking until fully cooked through, about 6 minutes total.
04 -
Return cooked onions and peppers to the skillet with the chicken. Stir to combine and heat through for 1–2 minutes.
05 -
Arrange provolone slices over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 1–2 minutes until cheese is melted.
06 -
Serve hot while cheese is fully melted and gooey. Optionally serve with low-carb sides or rolls.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Slice chicken when partially frozen to achieve thinner, more uniform cuts.
02 -
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure proper caramelization of vegetables.
03 -
Let chicken brown without stirring initially to build flavor through caramelization.
04 -
Reheat leftovers in a skillet with a splash of water to preserve texture.
