Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
1 pound chicken breast or thighs (cut into small strips or chunks)
1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 small onion (thinly sliced)
1 cup red bell pepper, seeded and (thinly sliced)
1 cup green bell pepper, seeded and (thinly sliced)

Method

In a large skillet, add one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and sprinkle with the seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper). Use tongs to toss the chicken in the spices, stirring occasionally. Cook the chicken 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Stir occasionally and cook for 7-10 minutes until the peppers are tender. (Reduce the heat to medium-low if needed.)
Add the chicken back to the pan and stir to combine; cook 2-3 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Reduce the heat to low. Then top with the provolone cheese and cover. Cook on low for 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted completely.

Notes

– For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the vegetables as they sauté.
– To ensure the chicken is perfectly cooked and safe, aim for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
– Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
