Servings: 4 bowls
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 onion sliced
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 tsp salt divided
- 2 tsp onion powder divided
- ½ tsp pepper
- 4 cloves minced garlic divided
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1.5 cups uncooked rice (about 4 cups cooked total)
- 1 cup shredded cheese of choice I like a provolone/mozzarella combo! Sargento makes this.
Cook 1.5 cups dry white rice according to package directions. The goal is to have about 4 cups cooked rice.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Add ground chicken, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, 1 tsp onion powder, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until cooked through 5-7 mins. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, peppers, onions, and mushrooms along with the remaining ½ tsp salt, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp Italian seasoning and 2 tbsp coconut aminos. Sauté 7-9 mins until softened.
Add the chicken back in and stir.
Divide the cooked rice between 4 meal prep containers and top with the meat and veggie mixture.
Sprinkle ¼ cup cheese on top (or more if you want). Store away in the fridge to reheat throughout the week, or pop in the microwave or oven to melt the cheese and eat right away. Enjoy!
Skillet Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Option
Meat: You can use any ground meat for this recipe - beef or turkey will also work in addition to chicken!
Cheese: Feel free to sub your favorite type of cheese. Any will work. You can also omit the cheese for dairy free.
Storage: This recipe will last in the fridge for up to 5 days. I suggest adding the cheese right before re-heating if making meal prep containers!
Nutritional info is approximate: 1 serving of chicken/veggies (total recipe divided by 4) + 1 cup cooked white rice + full fat shredded cheese. Adjust to your liking!
Meal prep containers: I love these Pyrex ones! They are the perfect size and are non-toxic glass.
