Description

Imagine the iconic flavors of a Philly cheesesteak, deconstructed and reimagined in a sizzling skillet. This dish captures the essence of the classic sandwich, transforming it into a satisfying and effortless meal. Forget the bread – this version lets the savory filling take center stage.

Tender chicken, instead of the traditional beef, provides a lighter, yet equally satisfying protein base. The chicken is cooked to perfection, absorbing all the delectable flavors of the surrounding ingredients. Sweet bell peppers, vibrant and colorful, add a touch of sweetness and a satisfying crunch.

Earthy mushrooms, sautéed to a golden brown, contribute a depth of flavor and a hearty texture. These vegetables meld together beautifully, creating a symphony of tastes and textures that complement the chicken perfectly. The entire mixture is then smothered in a blanket of melted cheese.

The cheese, rich and creamy, binds all the ingredients together, creating a gooey and irresistible topping. Its sharp and tangy flavor cuts through the richness of the chicken and vegetables, adding another layer of complexity to the dish. This skillet creation is more than just a meal; it's an experience.

The aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water, a tantalizing blend of savory chicken, earthy mushrooms, and sweet peppers. Each bite is a burst of flavor, a harmonious combination of textures and tastes that will leave you feeling satisfied and content. Serve it as is for a low-carbohydrate delight, or pair it with your favorite side dish for a more complete meal.

Consider a fresh green salad for a light and refreshing contrast, or roasted vegetables for an extra dose of nutrients. Cauliflower rice makes an excellent low-carb accompaniment, soaking up all the delicious juices from the skillet. No matter how you choose to serve it, this Philly cheesesteak skillet is sure to become a new favorite.

It’s a comforting and flavorful meal that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend gathering. It offers all the satisfying flavors of a classic cheesesteak without the added carbs. Enjoy the simplicity and the deliciousness of this easy-to-make dish, a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that will have everyone asking for seconds.

Instructions

    1.
    Lay flat and pat dry thin-sliced chicken breasts. Season them with the salt, pepper, onion powder, and oregano.
    2.
    Heat the first amount of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and set in the chicken breast. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until the outsides are a glazed golden brown. Set the cooked chicken aside to cool. Once cool enough to handle, slice the chicken into approx. 20 pieces (5 slices per serving).
    3.
    While the chicken is cooling, return the pan to a medium-low heat on the stove. Toss into the pan sliced mushrooms, sliced bell pepper, and the remaining olive oil. Toss and cook the veggies until they are tender and slightly caramelized in the oil.
    4.
    Reduce the heat to low and return the sliced chicken back to the pan. Sprinkle in the shredded cheese and let the cheese melt over the heat undisturbed. Serve once the chicken and cheese are hot.
