Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (1 lb) boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thinly sliced)
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Vegetables:
- 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 onion (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Condiments and Preparation Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting rolls)
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet at medium temperature, introducing sliced chicken seasoned with aromatic spices.
- Sauté the chicken for 6-8 minutes, ensuring a golden-brown exterior and complete internal cooking.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to one side of the skillet, then introduce sliced onions and bell peppers to the vacant space.
- Gently caramelize the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they develop a soft, translucent texture.
- Reunite the chicken with the sautéed vegetables, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
- Delicately drape provolone cheese slices across the mixture, allowing them to melt seamlessly by covering the skillet for 1-2 minutes.
- While the cheese melts, prepare hoagie rolls by lightly buttering and toasting them in a separate pan until achieving a crisp, golden appearance.
- Generously distribute the molten chicken and vegetable mixture into the warm, toasted hoagie rolls.
- Serve immediately while the cheese remains luxuriously melted and the filling radiates warmth.
Notes
- Swap chicken with tofu or plant-based protein for a vegetarian version that maintains the classic Philly cheesesteak flavor profile.
- Add extra spice by incorporating a dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes into the seasoning mix for those who enjoy a kick.
- Experiment with different cheese options like Swiss, American, or pepper jack to customize the flavor and melt factor of your sandwich.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to streamline cooking process and ensure quick, stress-free meal assembly during busy weeknights.
