Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices provolone cheese

Vegetables

  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced

Breads

  • 4 hoagie rolls

Oils & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Slice the Chicken: Start by thinly slicing the chicken breasts into strips about 1/4 inch thick. This helps them cook quickly and absorb all the seasoning for maximum flavor.
  2. Sauté the Veggies: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onions, cooking until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken strips to the same skillet, sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning frequently until the chicken is cooked through and golden.
  4. Melt the Cheese: Reduce heat to low and layer provolone slices over the chicken and veggies in the skillet. Cover briefly to allow the cheese to melt perfectly over the filling.
  5. Toast the Hoagie Rolls: Slice the hoagie rolls open and toast them lightly in a separate pan or toaster oven until warm and slightly crispy on the edges.
  6. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon the cheesy chicken and veggie mixture generously into the toasted rolls. Serve immediately for the best melty, savory experience.

Notes

  • Use thin slices: Thinly slicing chicken ensures fast cooking and tender bites.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan: Cook veggies and chicken in batches if needed to get the best caramelization.
  • Cover when melting cheese: Helps create that smooth, melty texture that defines the sandwich.
  • Toast the rolls: Gives the sandwich a nice crunch and prevents sogginess.
  • Season well: Carefully balance salt, pepper, and spices to amplify the flavors without overpowering.
