Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 6 leaves large lettuce leaves (such as iceberg or romaine)
Instructions
Thinly slice the chicken breasts into strips. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes or until fully cooked and browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Slice the green and red bell peppers into thin strips, and slice the onion thinly. Mince the garlic cloves.
Add the bell peppers and onions to the skillet and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
Place slices of provolone cheese over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes.
Once the cheese is melted, remove the skillet from heat.
Take a large lettuce leaf and fill it with a portion of the chicken and cheese mixture.
Fold the lettuce leaf over the filling to create a wrap. Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Chicken Philly Cheesesteak wraps!
