Say hello to an incredibly easy, flavorful, and healthy weeknight dinner. This Chicken Cheesesteak Recipe is a low carb skillet meal inspired by a Philly Cheesesteak.
Rather than steak, it uses marinated chicken tenderloins and it is all served in a bowl rather than a hoagie roll.
It can easily be served on a toasted roll if someone in your household is not eating low carb.
