Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole Bell peppers
- 1 whole Onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 6 slices Provolone cheese
- 6 large leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
Thinly slice the chicken breast into strips.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips, seasoning with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
While the chicken is cooking, thinly slice the bell peppers and onion.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Return the cooked chicken strips to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together to combine well.
Place the slices of provolone cheese over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for about 1-2 minutes.
Once the cheese is melted, remove the skillet from the heat.
Serve by spooning the chicken cheesesteak mixture onto the large romaine lettuce leaves, folding each leaf like a taco, and enjoy your low carb meal!
