Smothered Chicken

Here is a recipe for you that is really simple to prepare and people will think you spent weeks in culinary school to learn. If you take out the cheese, this is a great low-carb, low-fat meal meal that I know the entire family will enjoy!

I posted the same image you see in this post on my social media and everyone was begging for the recipe, so I thought I would share here as well.

If you need the carbs (we all need carbs BTW!), you can optional serve this recipe on a bed of rice or with sweet or white potato – both are great options!

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ground red pepper (cayenne)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 medium green bell pepper – thinly sliced
1 medium white onion – thinly sliced
1 cup sliced mushrooms (4 oz)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (OPTIONAL)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (OPTIONAL)

Directions

Season both sides of chicken breast with oregano, salt, garlic powder and red pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add olive oil
Add seasoned chicken – cook evenly turning after approximately 4-6 minutes each side.
Remove chicken from skillet, keep warm.
Add butter to skillet – if necessary use butter to scrape up the bit of seasoning from bottom (do not remove)
Add peppers and onions and saute for roughly 5-6 minutes
Add mushrooms and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes under all vegetables are tender.
Add chicken back to skillet, on top of vegetables and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Cover chicken and vegetables with cheese and remove from skillet.
Cover and let stand for 4-5 minutes until cheese is melted or place under broiler until cheese is melted.
