Philly cheese subs are one of my favorite meals, but who has time to go through all the steps of this elaborate sandwich?!
Stuffed Philly Chicken Peppers have the delicious factor, the healthy factor, and of course - the cheese factor! You just can't go wrong with this yummy spin on the classic, and with the simplicity of this recipe, why not make this a regular weeknight dinner contender?
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 bell peppers, cut in half with seeds removed
- 2 slices provolone cheese
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the garlic and the chicken and cook unit browned. Stir in the salt, cayenne, and balsamic. Continue cooking until chicken is cooked through.
- Cut the bell peppers in half and remove the core and seeds. Fill the peppers with the chicken mixture and lay in a baking dish. Add a few tablespoons water to the bottom of the dish and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove the cover and top each bell pepper half with a half slice of provolone. Put back in the oven uncovered, and bake until cheese is browned and bubbly, 5-10 more minutes.
