Description

These Chicken Cheese Steak Sandwiches are a delicious and lighter alternative to the classic Philly cheesesteak, using tender chicken breast instead of beef, and loaded with melted cheese, onions, and bell peppers. This sandwich is a perfect balance of savory, melty goodness with a little crunch, served on a soft hoagie roll. It’s quick, flavorful, and makes for an easy, crowd-pleasing dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Sandwiches:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 medium bell pepper, thinly sliced (green, red, or a mix)
4 hoagie rolls or sandwich buns
4 slices provolone cheese (or mozzarella/cheddar)
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional for spreading on rolls)

Instructions

1. Season and Cook the Chicken:

Season the thinly sliced chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken slices to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Cook the Vegetables:

In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and bell pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble the Sandwiches:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the hoagie rolls lengthwise, but don’t slice all the way through—leave them hinged.
Optional: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of the rolls for added creaminess.
Layer the cooked chicken, followed by the sautéed onions and bell peppers on the bottom half of each roll.

4. Melt the Cheese:

Place a slice of provolone cheese over the chicken and veggies.
Place the sandwiches in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are slightly toasted.

5. Serve:

Remove from the oven and serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your chicken cheese steak sandwiches!

Notes

For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce to the sandwich.
You can make this a low-carb meal by swapping the hoagie rolls with lettuce wraps.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm the chicken and veggies in a skillet, then assemble on the roll.
