Chicken Cheesesteak Skillet. Original recipe adapted with source quantities and workflow.

Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.

The listed pan and basket capacity, cook times, and thermometer endpoint are for four servings.

Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.

## Ingredients

- 2 tbsp olive oil — divided

- 1 lb chicken breast or thighs — cut into small strips or chunks

- 1 ½ tsp garlic powder

- 1 tsp onion powder

- 1 tsp paprika

- ½ tsp salt

- ½ tsp black pepper

- 1 count small onion — thinly sliced

- 1 cup Red bell pepper — seeded and thinly sliced

- 1 cup Green bell pepper — seeded and thinly sliced

- 8 oz Mushrooms — sliced; source uses one 8-ounce package

- 1 cup shredded Provolone cheese — or your favorite variety

## Equipment

- Lidded skillet

- Mixing bowl

- Instant-read thermometer

## Cook

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

1. **Chicken.** Heat half the olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add chicken and the dry seasonings. Toss with tongs and cook 4–5 minutes until browned. Transfer chicken to a plate.

2. **Vegetables.** Heat the remaining oil in the same skillet. Cook onion, peppers and mushrooms for 7–10 minutes, stirring as needed, until peppers soften. Reduce heat if they brown too quickly.

3. **Finish.** Return chicken and cook another 2–3 minutes until cooked through. Lower heat, scatter provolone on top and cover for 2–3 minutes until melted.

## Attention timeline

Stages can overlap; endpoints and appliance behavior override the estimate.

## Nutrition per serving

Calories: 267 kcal; protein: 27.0 g; total carbs: 6.9 g; fiber: 1.9 g; net carbs: 5.0 g

Publisher estimate per original portion; proportional ingredient scaling preserves that portion.

Known allergens for these plates: milk. Check product labels and cross-contact.

## First-cook checks and limits

- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.

- Adapted from Annie. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.

- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

## Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
