Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until they begin to soften and caramelize. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper as they cook.
Once the vegetables are softened, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced chicken. Season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
Return the sautéed peppers and onions to the skillet with the chicken. Stir to combine everything.
Add the slices of provolone cheese over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Optionally, add a tablespoon of butter for extra flavor and creaminess, stirring it in until melted.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cheesy chicken cheesesteak skillet!

Notes

Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak: Add sliced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture for some heat.
Cheese Options: While provolone is classic, you can also use mozzarella, cheddar, or even a spicy pepper jack for a different flavor.
Add Mushrooms: For an extra savory touch, sauté some sliced mushrooms along with the peppers and onions.
Low-Carb Wrap: If you’re following a keto diet and want to make this into a wrap, you can serve the mixture in a low-carb tortilla for a handheld option.
