Croatian Skillet Chicken and
Vegetables - with chicken,
mushrooms, and peppers this is a
fantastic sandwich stuffing, and great
on its own as a low carb meal!
prep time: 15 MINUTES
cook time: 15MINUTES

Ingredients
US Customary - Metric
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-size pieces
2 bell peppers, seeded and roughly chopped (any color)
1 red onion, peeled and roughly chopped
8 ounces button mushrooms, quartered
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves OR 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper

Instructions
1. Place a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, char the bell peppers in
a dry skillet, until lightly blistered. Remove the peppers and set aside.
2. Add the butter, onions, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, then push onions
to the side of the pan.
3. Add the chicken, mushrooms, thyme, smoked paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2
teaspoon ground black pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked
through, about 6-8 minutes.
4. Toss the blistered peppers back into the skillet. Cook another 2 minutes. Taste, then salt
and pepper as needed.

5. Serve as-is, or on soft bubbly bread rolls, just like in Croatia. (I find soft ciabatta buns are
the closest thing to Croatian sandwich bread found in the US.)
