Chicken

Bell Peppers

Cheese

Method

Grilling Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before chopping.

Sautéing Bell Peppers

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is grilling, slice the red and green bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Once the vegetables are sautéed, lower the heat and sprinkle the jack cheese evenly over the bell peppers. Cover the skillet with a lid for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Chop the grilled chicken into bite-sized pieces. Serve the sautéed bell peppers with melted jack cheese on a plate, topped with the chopped grilled chicken.
