Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- ½ medium bell pepper, sliced
- ½ medium yellow onion, sliced
- 2 medium portabella mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- ½ tsp minced garlic
Protein
- 8 oz rotisserie chicken, sliced
Other Ingredients
- ½ Tbsp olive oil
- 1–2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ⅓ cup queso melting cheese
- ⅓ cup Rotel style tomatoes, mild
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced bell pepper, yellow onion, mushrooms, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes, lowering heat to medium-low if needed to prevent browning. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce thoroughly to combine with the veggies.
- Add Chicken: Sprinkle the sliced rotisserie chicken over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, allowing the chicken to warm through evenly.
- Melt Cheese and Tomatoes: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine queso melting cheese and mild Rotel tomatoes. Heat in the microwave until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Pour this melted cheese mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet, then serve immediately.
Notes
- You can omit the mushrooms if preferred or substitute with other vegetables like zucchini or corn for variation.
- Adjust Worcestershire sauce quantity to taste to control the depth of flavor.
- This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice or a fresh green salad to keep it low carb.
- Use mild or spicy Rotel tomatoes depending on your heat preference.
- Ensure the skillet is nonstick to avoid vegetables and cheese sticking during cooking.
