Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb chicken breast
Vegetables:
- 2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 green)
- 1 large onion
Supporting Ingredients:
- 8 oz provolone cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice 1 lb chicken breast into thin strips, then generously season with salt and pepper for robust flavor.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F for sautéing vegetables.
- Add 2 sliced bell peppers (1 red, 1 green) and 1 large sliced onion to the hot skillet, cooking for 5-6 minutes until vegetables soften and slightly caramelize.
- Transfer seasoned chicken strips into the skillet with vegetables, stirring consistently and cooking for 3-4 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
- Split 4 hoagie rolls lengthwise and carefully arrange the hot chicken and vegetable mixture evenly across each roll.
- Layer 2 oz provolone cheese slices over the warm filling on each sandwich.
- Position sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil at 500°F for 2-3 minutes, watching closely until cheese melts completely and edges turn golden brown.
- Remove from broiler, let rest for 1 minute, then slice diagonally and serve immediately while hot and cheese is gooey.
Notes
- Cut chicken against the grain for more tender, easier-to-bite pieces that melt in your mouth.
- Choose a sturdy hoagie roll that can handle the juicy filling without falling apart during eating.
- Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the chicken while cooking to boost the deep, savory flavor profile.
- For a lighter version, swap regular provolone for reduced-fat cheese and use whole wheat rolls to increase nutritional value.
