???? Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- Optional: hoagie rolls or sandwich buns, for serving
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley or red pepper flakes
???????? Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Veggies
Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft and caramelized.
Step 3: Combine & Melt
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes. Lay provolone slices evenly over the top, cover the skillet, and let sit for 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted and gooey.
Step 4: Serve
Serve hot straight from the skillet or spoon it into toasted hoagie rolls for a sandwich version. Garnish with parsley or red pepper flakes if desired.
