Ingredients
Sandwich
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 5-6 slices provolone cheese
Chicken
- 1 pound chicken breasts or thighs, cut into thin strips
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Vegetables
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1/2 white or yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
- Season the chicken: In a bowl, season the thinly sliced chicken strips with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside, keeping it warm.
- Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, bell pepper strips, and onions. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant and vegetables are tender.
- Combine chicken and vegetables: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Add cheese: Lay slices of provolone cheese over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Cover the skillet loosely with a lid and allow the cheese to melt for 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Scoop the cheesy chicken and vegetable mixture into the hoagie rolls. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier result.
- Feel free to add extra vegetables like jalapeños or spinach for variation.
- For a lower-fat version, reduce the butter or omit it and use cooking spray instead.
- Use provolone cheese or try other melting cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar as preferred.
- To toast the rolls, briefly place them in a hot oven or skillet before assembling.
