Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium, thinly sliced Red bell pepper
• 1 medium, thinly sliced Green bell pepper
• 1 medium, thinly sliced Yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup, shredded Low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 4 small (about 6 inches each) Whole wheat sub rolls
• 4 large Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium, sliced Tomato

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken breast. Thinly slice the chicken breast into small strips for quicker cooking. Rub the strips with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and cook until it is no longer pink and has a light golden brown color, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the sliced red and green bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté the vegetables until they are soft and starting to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and add the Worcestershire sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Allow the cheese to melt, stirring occasionally to combine.

Step 7

While the cheese is melting, slice the whole wheat sub rolls open and warm them slightly, if desired.

Step 8

To assemble the cheesesteaks, line each sub roll with a large lettuce leaf, and layer the cooked chicken, vegetables, and melted cheese mixture onto each roll.

Step 9

Garnish with slices of fresh tomato. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, flavorful low-fat chicken cheesesteaks.
