Description
Classic chicken Philly cheesesteak delivers Philadelphia’s beloved sandwich with juicy grilled chicken, melted provolone, and caramelized peppers. Sandwich enthusiasts will savor this hearty meal that brings comfort and flavor to any dinner table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, creating a sizzling cooking surface.
- Introduce sliced chicken breast to the pan, seasoning generously with salt and pepper, cooking thoroughly until no pink remains, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a temporary plate, maintaining the flavorful pan drippings.
- In the same skillet, sauté sliced bell peppers and onions, stirring occasionally until vegetables become soft and slightly caramelized.
- Reintroduce chicken to the vegetable mixture, gently combining ingredients to distribute flavors evenly.
- Strategically layer provolone cheese over the chicken and vegetable mixture, allowing cheese to melt completely and create a creamy, cohesive filling.
- Carefully spoon the cheesy chicken and vegetable mixture into waiting hoagie rolls, ensuring an even distribution.
- Serve immediately while hot, presenting a delectable Philly-style sandwich bursting with savory ingredients.
Notes
- Slice chicken uniformly to ensure even cooking and prevent dry or undercooked sections.
- Use high-heat cooking to quickly sear chicken, locking in moisture and creating delicious caramelized edges.
- Consider using pre-sliced chicken to save time and achieve consistent thickness for perfect texture.
- For a lighter version, swap regular hoagie rolls with whole wheat or low-carb alternatives to reduce calories and add nutritional value.
