Cook chicken in skillet, both sides. Approximately 8-10 minutes, until cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet.

Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Cook bell pepper and onion for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms. Cook another 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Place chicken in skillet with vegetables. Spoon vegetables over chicken. Sprinkle cheeses over chicken and vegetables. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for a few minutes until cheese is melted.

Tip: You can substitute red bell pepper for green bell pepper. Add a few dashed of hot sauce for a little extra spice if you like. If you don’t like spice, leave out the cayenne. If the chicken and vegetables are a little dry, add some chicken stock at the end and toss with the chicken and vegetables before adding the cheese.
