Description
This Chicken Cheesesteak Skillet brings the bold, melty flavors of a classic sandwich right to your dinner table—no bun needed. It’s one of those meals I turn to when I want something hearty, quick, and packed with comforting, cheesy goodness. With tender chicken, sweet peppers, and golden onions all melted under a layer of provolone, this one-pan wonder is pure weeknight joy.
Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1¼ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1½ tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp smoked paprika
Kosher salt & fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and peppers until soft and lightly caramelized, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add remaining oil to the skillet. Cook sliced chicken with Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sear until golden and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
Return peppers and onions to the skillet. Toss to combine evenly.
Sprinkle provolone over the top. Cover and let melt for 2–3 minutes.
Serve hot—great on its own, over rice, or tucked into a lettuce wrap.
Notes
One skillet, tons of flavor—this cheesesteak-inspired dish is fast, filling, and utterly delicious!
