Servings: 1
Calories: 500kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin cutlets or bite-sized pieces)
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional for extra heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Give it a quick toss so every piece feels fancy.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add onion and bell pepper. Sauté until they’re tender with a little color, about 4–5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any tasty browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for a minute to reduce slightly.
- Return the chicken to the pan. Sprinkle shredded pepper jack cheese over the top and cover just long enough for the cheese to melt (1–2 minutes).
- Stir gently to combine everything into a saucy, cheesy nest. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with cilantro or parsley.
