Ingredients

• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pinch dried oregano
• ½ green bell pepper, diced
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 2 tablespoons water (Optional)
• ½ lime, juiced
• ½ onion, diced
• 4 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded thin

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; saute onion and green bell pepper until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2

Mix flour, salt, and pepper together in a gallon-size resealable bag. Cut each pounded chicken breast in half and add to flour mixture; toss to coat.

Step 3

Place coated chicken into skillet with onion mixture. Cook until chicken is browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drizzle lime juice over chicken mixture.

Step 4

Stir tomatoes and oregano into chicken mixture, cover skillet with a lid, and cook until tomatoes soften, sauce thickens, and chicken is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes. Add water if needed. Top each piece of chicken with a slice of provolone cheese and serve with the tomato sauce.
