Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced

Cheese

  • 6 slices provolone or American cheese

Vegetables

  • 1 large bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced

Bread

  • 4 soft hoagie rolls or sub buns

Cooking Fats and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the chicken breast or thighs into thin strips for quick cooking and seasoning absorption. Also, slice the bell peppers and onions into thin, even strips to ensure they sauté quickly and evenly.
  2. Season and Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized. For the last minute, mix them with the cooked chicken to blend the flavors.
  4. Add Cheese: Lower the heat and layer slices of provolone or your chosen cheese over the chicken and vegetables. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Toast the Rolls: While the cheese is melting, slice the hoagie rolls and lightly toast them in the oven or on a pan until crisp but still soft enough to hold the filling.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Load the cheese-covered chicken and sautéed veggies onto the toasted rolls. Optionally, add sauces like mayonnaise, hot sauce, or garlic aioli. Serve immediately while hot and melty.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced chicken for even cooking and tender texture.
  • Let the cooked chicken rest briefly off the heat to retain juiciness.
  • Add cheese last and cover the skillet to melt it perfectly without burning.
  • Lightly toast the bread to add crunch and prevent sogginess.
  • Adjust seasoning and herbs to your taste for personalized flavor.
