Ingredients
  

2 large chicken breasts, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 cup sliced salami

1 cup prosciutto, torn into pieces

1 cup mixed olives (green and black), pitted

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh basil, chiffonade

1 tablespoon balsamic reduction (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preparation of Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Season the diced chicken with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

    Adding Meats: Once the chicken is cooked, push it to one side of the skillet. Add the sliced salami and torn prosciutto to the other side, allowing them to crisp up slightly for about 2-3 minutes.

      Incorporating Veggies: Toss in the mixed olives and cherry tomatoes. Stir everything together, allowing the flavors to meld for another 3-4 minutes, until the tomatoes soften.

        Cheese Time: Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and crumbled goat cheese evenly over the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the cheese melt, which should take around 2-3 minutes.

          Final Touches: Once the cheese is melted, remove from heat. Add the chopped rosemary and fresh basil, stirring them through the skillet for a fragrant finish.

            Serving: Drizzle a balsamic reduction over the top and serve hot. It can be enjoyed on its own or accompanied by crusty bread or a fresh salad.
