Chicken Cheesesteak Sandwiches (Print)

Tender chicken with peppers, onions, and melted provolone on a toasted hoagie roll for a hearty, flavorful handheld meal.

# What You Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Vegetables

05 - 1 large onion, thinly sliced
06 - 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
07 - 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced

→ Cheese & Bread

08 - 8 slices provolone cheese
09 - 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls, split

→ Seasonings

10 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
11 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika

→ Optional

12 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
13 - 1 tablespoon butter for toasting rolls

# How to Make:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, add onions and bell peppers. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
03 - Return the chicken to the skillet and toss with the vegetables. Lay the provolone slices over the mixture, cover, and let cheese melt for 1-2 minutes.
04 - Spread mayonnaise on the inside of each roll if desired. Melt butter in a clean skillet and toast the split rolls, cut side down, until golden.
05 - Divide the chicken-cheese mixture among the rolls. Serve hot.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in one skillet making cleanup surprisingly simple
  • The way the provolone melts into every nook and cranny creates these irresistible cheesy pockets
02 -
  • Working in batches rather than overcrowding the pan prevents the chicken from steaming instead of browning
  • Letting the vegetables cook undisturbed for a minute or two helps them develop better flavor
03 -
  • A splash of Worcestershire sauce mixed into the chicken while it cooks adds incredible depth
  • Buttering and toasting the inside of your rolls creates a barrier that keeps them from getting soggy
