HOW TO MAKE THIS KETO PHILLY CHEESESTEAK

To make this Keto Philly Cheesesteak, you just have to do a few different things. And once you do that, you’ll have a Low Carb Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Skillet meal that is amazing. 

If the rest of your family isn’t following a Low Carb or Ketogenic Diet, this is an easy meal that works for everyone. You can simply add sub rolls for those who aren’t eating a Low Carb lifestyle. Keto Chicken Philly Cheesesteak is a fantastic one-skillet meal that is simple to make, and it tastes delicious. You could also grab a rotisserie chicken if you are in a pinch for time and use it as well.

Ingredients:

• Boneless Skinless Chicken – I use boneless skinless chicken breasts in this recipe, but you could sub chicken thighs instead. 
• Green Peppers & Onion – You need both to add incredible flavor to this dish 
• Provolone Cheese – You can use any type of cheese that you want, but this one goes perfectly with the other flavors.
• Butter – Healthy fat for cooking. 
• Seasonings– Feel free to adjust seasoning to suit your taste. 

Steps to make Keto Philly Cheesesteak:

Step 1: In a hot cast-iron skillet, melt one tablespoon of butter and add peppers, onion, and garlic.

Step 2: Sauté until the onions and peppers are translucent, then remove veggies from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the cast iron skillet then add chicken, Italian seasoning, and salt/pepper.

Step 4: Allow to sear on each side, then cover and cook on medium-low until the chicken is cooked all the way through. I use a meat thermometer to test doneness.

Step 5: Once the chicken is done, add the pepper, onion, and garlic back to the skillet. Cook on low for 2 minutes.

Step 6: Place provolone cheese slices on top of the chicken and veggie mixture to cover, and then place the skillet in the oven on broil for 1-3 minutes until the cheese is melted thoroughly.

Step 7: Serve.

COOKING WITH CAST IRON

I’m a fan of cooking any type of skillet recipes and most of my low carb dinners in a cast-iron skillet any time that I can. I love the extra taste and flavor that it adds, and I love how forgiving cast iron is. These pans last forever. 

Cast iron cooking is also a simple way to cook your food evenly and quickly as well. The iron does a great job of holding the heat and distributing it evenly across the pan. This 2 pan preseasoned set with a 10 inch and 12-inch skillet is a fantastic and affordable addition to your kitchen. 

CAN YOU FREEZE THIS LOW CARB CHICKEN PHILLY CHEESESTEAK? 

Sure, it will keep for 4 months in a freezer-safe container. Simply thaw in the fridge, then rewarm in the microwave or the oven until warmed all the way through. It could also be frozen in single-serving sizes for quick meals later. 

WHAT KIND OF SAUCE IS GOOD ON A PHILLY CHEESESTEAK?

You don’t have to add any sauce once you layer on the cheese. But if you want some kind of topping or sauce, look for a low carb option. Some people love sugar-free BBQ sauce or mayonnaise.
