Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium, thinly sliced Red bell pepper
- 1 medium, thinly sliced Green bell pepper
- 1 medium, thinly sliced Yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup, shredded Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 4 small (about 6 inches each) Whole wheat sub rolls
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium, sliced Tomato
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken breast. Thinly slice the chicken breast into small strips for quicker cooking. Rub the strips with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and cook until it is no longer pink and has a light golden brown color, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red and green bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté the vegetables until they are soft and starting to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and add the Worcestershire sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Allow the cheese to melt, stirring occasionally to combine.
While the cheese is melting, slice the whole wheat sub rolls open and warm them slightly, if desired.
To assemble the cheesesteaks, line each sub roll with a large lettuce leaf, and layer the cooked chicken, vegetables, and melted cheese mixture onto each roll.
Garnish with slices of fresh tomato. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, flavorful low-fat chicken cheesesteaks.
