Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 slices of provolone or Cheez Whiz
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 hoagie rolls
Fresh ingredients ready for preparation.
Directions
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
- Using the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Cook until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
- To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous amount of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto each hoagie roll, and top with slices of cheese.
- If desired, broil the sandwiches in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts. Serve immediately.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: Feel free to swap out the chicken for thinly sliced steak or turkey. You can also use different types of cheese like American or mozzarella.
- Optional Variations: Add some sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños for an extra kick. For a healthier twist, use whole grain hoagie rolls.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven until warm throughout.
