Instructions

Heat a large heavy skillet to 350 degrees F about 7 minutes over medium heat on a gas range, or about 23 minutes over medium to medium-low heat on an electric range.
Place each chicken breast on a cutting board and slice horizontally to create two thin pieces. Lightly rub each piece of chicken on both sides with olive oil, salt and pepper.

When it is about one-half the thickness, chicken is ready to turn.

Push onion and pepper mixture to one side of the skillet and add cooked chicken, piling the pepper mixture on each piece. Remove from heat and place 1/2 slice of Provolone cheese on each piece of chicken. Cover with a lid until cheese melts. Serve immediately.

Easy Pickled Cucumber Rounds

When the garden starts producing and the cucumbers are prolific, I make this recipe to keep in the refrigerator. It’s perfect with any meal and especially great with sandwiches and salads.

Southerners like sweet pickles with the summer bounty from the garden. I gave a jar to my neighbor telling him it would last about a week and a half in the refrigerator. He later told me I was wrong. They only lasted a day. Keep this recipe going all summer and you will use up that bounty of cucumbers plus make a few neighbors happy. Enjoy!
