Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken to the pan and season it with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes until it’s fully cooked and browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until softened and caramelized, which enhances their flavor.
  3. Combine Chicken and Vegetables: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Mix everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend nicely.
  4. Prepare for Baking: While the chicken and vegetables are finishing, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) or set up your broiler to melt the cheese perfectly.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Split each hoagie roll lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet. Fill each roll generously with the chicken and vegetable mixture, then top with 2 slices of provolone cheese.
  6. Bake the Sandwiches: Place the baking sheet in the oven or under the broiler. Bake for about 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning the rolls.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven, then optionally drizzle with hot sauce and garnish with pickled jalapeños for an extra kick. Serve immediately and enjoy your tasty Chicken Philly Cheese Steaks!

Notes

  • You can substitute the chicken with sliced beef, turkey, or tofu (press and cube tofu before cooking) depending on your preference.
  • If provolone cheese is unavailable, mozzarella, cheddar, or pepper jack are good alternatives with their own distinct flavors.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in an oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes to keep the bread crispy, as microwaving may make it soggy.
  • You can prep the chicken and vegetables up to 2 days ahead, then assemble and bake the sandwiches when ready.
