Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Tips:

  • Choose a good quality provolone cheese for the best flavor. Grating your own cheese will give you a more even melt and better flavor than pre-shredded cheese.
  • If you don't have chicken breasts, you can substitute chicken thighs. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad.

Conclusion:

Provolone smothered chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a creamy provolone sauce that is rich and flavorful. The dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
