Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches

INGREDIENTS:
10 oz boneless, skinless thin chicken breast cutlets, cut into strips
1/2 t garlic powder
kosher salt (I use himalayan salt)
freshly cracked black pepper
cooking spray
1 t olive oil
1/2 medium green pepper, sliced thinly
1/2 large onion, halved and sliced thinly
8 oz sliced mushrooms
4 whole wheat or multi grain buns
4 slices reduced fat provalone cheese

DIRECTIONS: Set broiler to low

Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. When hot, spray skillet with oil and add chicken. Cook until browned, about 1 minute, and then turn the chicken over, and cook for an additional minute. Transfer to a large dish.

Add 1/2 t of the oil to the hot skillet. Add the bell pepper and onion and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, add mushrooms, and cook an additional 3-4 minutes. (until onion is translucent)

Cut the buns in half, place on a baking sheet, add 1 slice of cheese to each bun, and broil until toasted. Add the chicken, veggies, and mushrooms, and serve. (I like to add fresh tomato!)

This one is a hit with the entire family-the kids don't really eat the veggies, but they love the chicken :)

Chicken & Watermelon Tacos



Chicken & Watermelon Tacos
2 c seedless watermelon, diced small (I prefer in skinny strips)
1 jalepeño, de-seed and dice
1/2 small red onion, minced
1/4 c lime juice
1/4 c chopped cilantro
1/4 tsp salt (can reduce)
Mix all ingredients above as "salsa."
Crumbled cotija or feta cheese
Grilled chicken, sliced in skinny strips
Corn tortillas, warmed in a frying pan sprayed w olive oil.
Warm tortillas and top w chicken, watermelon salsa, and sprinkle w/ feta! So yum!
Containers used:
R (chicken)
Y (tortillas)
P (watermelon)
G (jalepeño/onion--minimal)
Tsp (olive oil)
It's pretty easy to measure as you build each taco.
