For the Chicken and Vegetables:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sandwiches:
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 8 slices provolone cheese (or cheese of your choice)
- Optional: Hot sauce for serving
- Optional: Pickled jalapeños for garnish
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and browned. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Using the same skillet, add the sliced onions, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and caramelized, enhancing their flavor.
- Combine Chicken and Vegetables: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Mix well and cook an additional 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
- Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) or set your broiler to high to melt the cheese perfectly.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice each hoagie roll lengthwise and place on a baking sheet. Fill each generously with the chicken and vegetable mixture, then top with 2 slices of provolone cheese.
- Bake the Sandwiches: Place the baking sheet in the oven or under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from oven, optionally drizzle with hot sauce and garnish with pickled jalapeños for extra heat. Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Philly Cheese Steaks!
Notes
- Thinly slice the chicken breasts for quick cooking and tender texture.
- Caramelizing the vegetables adds sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Watch the sandwiches closely when baking to prevent the rolls from burning.
- Optional toppings like hot sauce and pickled jalapeños add an exciting spicy kick.
- Substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or American cheese as preferred.
