This Cheesy Chicken Skillet recipe is high protein, low carb, and an absolute favorite in my household. Think of it as the inside of a Philly Cheesesteak - Who wouldn't love that?! You can toss it together in a few quick minutes following the recipe below:
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 pound sliced deli chicken (organic, preservative-free)
- 1 thinly sliced onion
- 1 thinly sliced bell pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (A2 is preferable)
- 4 oz mayo (homemade recipe is linked here)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Place an oven-safe skillet on the stovetop (I use a cast iron).
3. Turn the stove onto medium heat and add the olive oil to the pan.
4. Add onions and peppers to the skillet and sauté until the onions are cooked.
5. Add thinly sliced deli chicken and mayo to the pan and mix until combined. Remove from heat.
6. Top with cheese and place in the oven for 15 minutes. Broil for the final 2-3 minutes for a crispy cheese finish!
