Tender chicken with peppers, onions, and melted provolone on toasted hoagie rolls
# What You’ll Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1/2 tsp salt
04 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
→ Vegetables
05 - 1 large onion, thinly sliced

08 - 8 slices provolone cheese
09 - 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls, split
→ Seasonings
10 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
11 - 1/2 tsp paprika
→ Optional
12 - 2 tbsp mayonnaise
13 - 1 tbsp butter for toasting rolls
# How to Make It:
01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, add onions and bell peppers. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
03 - Return the chicken to the skillet and toss with the vegetables. Lay the provolone slices over the mixture, cover, and let cheese melt for 1-2 minutes.
04 - Spread mayonnaise on the inside of each roll if desired. Melt butter in a clean skillet and toast the split rolls, cut side down, until golden.
05 - Divide the chicken-cheese mixture among the rolls. Serve hot.
# Expert tips:
01 -
- Way more affordable than traditional cheesesteak but still hits all those satisfying cheesy meaty notes
- Comes together in under 40 minutes even on a busy weeknight
02 -
- Crowding the pan when cooking chicken will steam it instead of browning it, work in batches if needed
- Cheese melts faster over a mixture that is already steaming hot, no need to crank up the heat
03 -
- Freeze the chicken for 20 minutes before slicing, it will cut cleanly and evenly
- Let the vegetables get some color, that caramelization is where all the flavor lives
