Chicken and vegetables
  • 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts Thinly sliced.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 green bell pepper Sliced.
  • 1 red bell pepper Sliced.
  • 1 onion Medium onion, sliced.
  • 8 oz mushrooms Sliced.
  • 3 garlic Minced cloves.
Seasoning and cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 8 slice provolone cheese Provolone, sliced into 8 pieces.
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Sear chicken
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken and season with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper, then spread it into an even layer.
  3. Cook for 5–6 minutes until lightly browned.
Cook vegetables
  1. Add onions, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet and stir to combine.
  2. Cook for another 6–8 minutes until vegetables soften.
  3. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Melt cheese and finish
  1. Spread the chicken-vegetable mixture evenly in the skillet.
  2. Lay provolone cheese slices over the top in a single layer.
  3. Cover for 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts.
  4. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For best browning, keep the skillet hot and avoid stirring the chicken too early. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended because the peppers and cheese texture can change. For a lower-fat option, use reduced-fat provolone while keeping the same cooking times.
