Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced
- 2 hoagie rolls
- 1 provolone or American cheese
Vegetables:
- 1 bell pepper (green, red, or yellow)
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
Seasonings and Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Warm a heavy-bottomed skillet with olive oil over medium-high temperature, creating an even heating surface for optimal cooking.
- Gently introduce sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet, allowing them to caramelize and soften while developing rich, sweet undertones. Transfer the vegetable medley to a separate plate once they reach a tender, translucent state.
- Use the same skillet to sear chicken slices, seasoning thoroughly with garlic powder, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Cook the meat until it achieves a golden-brown exterior and is completely cooked through.
- Reunite the reserved onions and peppers with the chicken, stirring to distribute flavors evenly across the protein and vegetables.
- Strategically layer cheese over the hot mixture, allowing it to melt and create a luxurious, creamy coating that binds the ingredients together.
- Prepare hoagie rolls by toasting them lightly to enhance their texture and provide a crisp foundation for the sandwich.
- Carefully nestle the cheesy chicken and vegetable filling into the warm hoagie rolls, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients for a perfect bite.
Notes
- Swap chicken for lean beef or plant-based protein to create alternative versions of this classic sandwich.
- Use low-fat cheese or dairy-free alternatives for a healthier twist that doesn’t compromise on flavor.
- Slice chicken ultra-thin for quicker cooking and more even seasoning distribution.
- Experiment with different cheese types like provolone or pepper jack to add exciting flavor variations.
