We were both hungry for dinner, but neither of us had a concise idea for what to prepare. Chicken sounded good. It always does. So I defrosted a few small boneless chicken tenderloins. We had lots of fresh peppers in the fridge and a new-to-us type of cheese--white cheddar. At first I was thinking "patty melt," but quickly decided I didn't want to be that unhealthy. Toasting the buns provided a perfect crispness, reminiscent of the grilled sandwich, but without the butter.
This sandwich hit it out of the park! We were both totally in love with the meal, made complete with a heaping side of broccoli.

salt

Slice the chicken breast in half width-wise (butterfly style) and pound out to even thickness. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add to hot pan. Cook 3-4 minutes, turn. Add peppers and onion to the pan. Cook chicken and peppers 3-4 minutes. Add white cheddar cheese slices to the top of chicken. Cover pan to melt cheese.
