Picture this: it’s a Wednesday evening, and you’re exhausted from a long day. You want something comforting but also quick. That’s when I threw together this cheesy chicken and veggie skillet. I was so focused on not burning the chicken that I totally forgot to add the garlic until the last minute. The result? A deliciously aromatic dish that made the whole house smell heavenly!
This meal is packed with tender chicken, vibrant bell peppers, and gooey cheese, all coming together in one pan. It’s a perfect weeknight dinner that doesn’t take more than 30 minutes from start to finish. Plus, cleanup is a breeze since you only need one skillet.
Ingredients
1 pound boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces.
1 bell pepper, diced (any color you like).

2 cloves garlic, minced.
1 teaspoon paprika.
Salt and pepper, to taste.
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella).
1 tablespoon olive oil.
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish.
How to Make It
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken pieces and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until golden brown.
Stir in the onion and bell pepper, cooking until they soften.

Sprinkle cheese over the top, cover the skillet, and let it melt.
Serve
Serve hot right from the skillet, garnished with fresh parsley. Perfect with a side of rice or just on its own!
