Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Cheese and Bread
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls, split and lightly toasted
Instructions
- Heat the fat: Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and hot.
- Cook the chicken: Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts to the skillet and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
- Sauté the vegetables: Push the cooked chicken to one side of the skillet. Add the sliced green bell pepper and yellow onion to the other side. Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
- Combine and melt cheese: Stir the chicken and vegetables together and reduce the heat to low. Layer the provolone cheese slices over the chicken mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese melts thoroughly.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spoon the cheesy chicken and vegetable mixture into the toasted hoagie rolls. Serve the sandwiches hot immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Add sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños for an extra layer of flavor and spice.
- Substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or white American cheese if preferred.
- Use gluten-free hoagie rolls to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Leftover filling can be reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
