This pepper-jack cheese smothered chicken is quick to prepare and bursting with flavor. Serve this with a side of cooked black beans, or re-fried black beans and some sour cream, and you have a great meal with a kick!

• 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 bell peppers, any color, chopped
• 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 4 boneless, skinless, chicken breast halves (pounded to an even thickness with a smooth meat mallet, for quick-even cooking)
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• 4 slices pepper-jack cheese (about 1 ounce each)

Heat oil, in a large skillet, over medium heat until hot. Add bell peppers, onion, and garlic; cook until slightly softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Add chicken to the pan and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is done; the juices run clear.

Top each piece of chicken, in the pan, with a slice of pepper-jack cheese. Turn off heat and cover with a lid or aluminum foil. Let stand for about 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.

Serves 4.
