Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Lightly brush them with olive oil and place them on the grill.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest.

Sauté Vegetables

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is grilling, thinly slice the onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms. Mince the garlic.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

  3. 5

    Add Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue to sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until all the vegetables are tender and the mushrooms are golden brown.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 6

    Combine Chicken and Vegetables

    Once the vegetables are cooked, place the grilled chicken breasts back in the skillet with the vegetable mixture.

  2. 7

    Add Cheese

    Top the chicken with slices of Swiss cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit on low heat for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

    While the cheese is melting, toast the Texas toast slices according to package instructions or until golden brown on both sides.
