Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb chicken breasts, thinly sliced

Vegetables

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

Dairy

  • 6 slices provolone cheese

Breads

  • 4 hoagie rolls

Oils and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Thinly slice the chicken breasts into strips about 1/4 inch thick for quick, even cooking. Season lightly with garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
  2. Sauté the Veggies: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and green bell peppers, sautéing until onions are soft and golden, and peppers have softened but still retain some crunch, approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet along with the vegetables. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Ensure the chicken pieces are evenly spread out in the pan to avoid steaming and to allow proper browning.
  4. Melt the Cheese: Lower the heat and place slices of provolone cheese over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid for 1-2 minutes to let the cheese melt perfectly, creating a gooey, creamy layer that defines the sandwich.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Spoon the cheesy chicken and veggie mixture generously into each roll. Serve immediately while hot and melty for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Use thin slices of chicken to ensure even cooking and tender texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to achieve proper browning.
  • Cover the pan when melting cheese to trap heat and help it melt evenly.
  • Lightly toast the hoagie rolls before assembling to prevent sogginess and add texture.
  • Season well with simple spices like garlic powder and pepper to enhance flavor.
