Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken and Vegetables
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
For Assembling the Sandwiches
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken and vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink and starts to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the peppers and onions: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized, about 7-8 minutes.
- Combine chicken and vegetables: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the peppers and onions. Stir to combine and heat through for about 2-3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
- Toast the hoagie rolls: Spread butter on the inside of each hoagie roll. Place them buttered-side down in a separate skillet or on a griddle over medium heat until golden and toasted, approximately 2 minutes.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Evenly divide the chicken and vegetable mixture among the toasted hoagie rolls. Top each sandwich with two slices of provolone cheese, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese slightly.
- Serve immediately: Serve the Chicken Philly Cheese Steaks hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for juicier meat.
- Add mushrooms or other vegetables if desired.
- For extra flavor, season chicken with garlic powder or Italian herbs before cooking.
- Provolone cheese can be substituted with mozzarella or American cheese.
- To melt the cheese more thoroughly, cover the sandwich with a lid for a minute before serving.
