Instructions
-
Prepare the pan: Begin by heating 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
-
Cook the onion: While the oil is heating, chop the onion into small pieces. Add the chopped onion to the pan and fry it for about 2 minutes, or until it becomes soft and translucent.
-
Prepare the chicken: While the onion cooks, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. The chicken is easier to slice when it’s still frozen, so you can go ahead and cut it straight from the freezer.
-
Add chicken to the pan: Once the onion is soft, add the chicken pieces to the pan. Stir the chicken and onion mixture to combine, ensuring the chicken starts to brown on all sides. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add cheese: Once the chicken is browned and cooked through, sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and onion mixture.
-
Melt the cheese: Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Let the mixture cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and create a creamy, flavorful coating on the chicken.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once the cheese has melted, remove the pan from the heat. Divide the chicken mixture into 4 servings and enjoy your quick and delicious meal!
Tips for Success
-
Frozen chicken tip: This recipe works best if you start with frozen chicken breast, as it’s easier to cut into bite-sized pieces straight from the freezer. If you prefer to use fresh chicken, you can chill it in the freezer for about 20 minutes before slicing.
-
Add extra veggies: Feel free to throw in some additional vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to make the dish even heartier.
-
Customize the seasoning: Experiment with adding garlic powder, black pepper, or even a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
This simple, yet tasty dish is ideal for when you’re short on time but still want a nutritious, satisfying meal. With just a few ingredients and a little bit of cooking magic, you’ll have a meal that your whole family will love.
