Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 4 slices provolone cheese
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Bread and Condiments:
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, seasoning chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sauté chicken for 5-7 minutes until thoroughly cooked and no pink remains.
- Using the same skillet, sauté bell peppers and onions until they become tender and slightly caramelized, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Lower the skillet’s temperature and arrange provolone cheese slices directly over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover and allow cheese to melt completely for 1-2 minutes.
- Prepare hoagie rolls by slicing them open and optionally toasting until lightly golden. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise inside each roll’s interior.
- Generously fill each hoagie roll with the melted cheese-covered chicken, peppers, and onions. Ensure an even distribution of ingredients throughout the sandwich.
- Serve immediately while the filling remains hot and cheese is still gooey, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly.
Notes
- Cook chicken on medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- Use high-quality, thinly sliced chicken breast for tender and juicy results.
- Customize spice blend by adjusting garlic, onion powder, and paprika ratios to personal taste preferences.
- Choose fresh, crisp bell peppers and sweet onions for maximum flavor and texture contrast.
- Opt for provolone cheese with higher fat content for smoother, more luxurious melting.
- Lightly toasting hoagie rolls adds extra crunch and prevents soggy sandwiches.
- For healthier version, swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or mustard.
- Use gluten-free rolls or serve mixture over cauliflower rice.
- Replace chicken with portobello mushrooms or plant-based chicken substitute.
