  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced

Notes

  • Have your veggies and garlic prepped before you start - this one cooks quickly.
  • Slice the chicken nice and thin so it cooks fast and soaks up all the flavor.
  • Let the chicken sit in the pan for a bit before stirring to get that golden crust.
  • Keep your peppers and onions the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Pour in the broth to deglaze the pan and grab all those yummy bits.
  • Cover the skillet so the cheese gets perfectly melty.
