Servings: 5
Calories: 325kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into thin strips against the grain
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 large onion sliced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 7 slices provolone cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon parsley
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- First, heat a cast iron skillet and melt a tablespoon of butter. Add the chopped peppers, onions, and garlic, and sauté them until they become translucent. Once done, remove the veggies from the skillet and put them aside.
- Next, melt two more tablespoons of butter in the same skillet, and add the chicken along with some Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Allow the chicken to sear on both sides and then cover the skillet and let it cook on medium-low heat until the chicken is fully cooked. You can check if the chicken is cooked by using a meat thermometer.
- Once the chicken is done, add the peppers, onions, and garlic back to the skillet and cook them on low heat for about 2 minutes. Then, add some slices of provolone cheese on top of the chicken and veggies to cover everything, and put the skillet into the oven on broil for 1-3 minutes until the cheese is melted perfectly.
- Finally, take the skillet out of the oven and serve it hot and fresh!

Tips & FAQs
- For the best texture, slice the chicken against the grain. This will ensure that the chicken is tender, juicy, and easy to chew.
- Slice vegetables into thin, similar-sized strips for great texture and even cooking.
- Allow the cheesesteak to rest for a few minutes after cooking. This will help the cheese finish melting and the flavors to come together.
- Toasting the bread can add crunch and enhance the texture of the sandwich. (If you choose a low-carb bread option)
