Smothered Chicken

I got this out of Betty Crocker. It is SOOOOOO good!!

Ingredients

Spice Rub, combine:
1 tsp. dried oregano
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. garlic powder
¼ tsp. pepper
¼ tsp. ground red pepper (cayenne)

4 chicken breast halves, cut lengthwise, thin.
1 tbsp. margarine or butter
1 bell pepper, sliced thin (if you have a mandoline slicer, I use the 1.5 MM attacnment. If you don’t have a mandoline slicer, GO BUY ONE!! It is the best invention EVER!)
1 onion, sliced thin (also 1.5 MM)
Grated mozzarella and cheddar

Sprinkle spice rub on chicken. Spray skillet with cooking spray. Cook chicken on medium heat, turning once, until cooked (approx 8-10 minutes each side).

In separate pan, cook bell pepper and onion in margarine until tender.

Spoon vegetables over chicken. Sprinkle cheeses over the top of chicken and veggies (I use about ½ c. total of cheese, use as much or little as you like!). Cover and let stand until cheese is melted.

I serve it over a heap of rice.

When I cook it I also add a little bit of the spice rub to the rice as it’s cooking, and a little to the veggies. Then everything has a little kick to it :)


If you don't like things so spicy, delete the 1/4 tsp. of pepper.
