Chicken Cheesesteak with Provolone (Printable Version)

Chicken with peppers, onions, provolone and garlic aioli piled into toasted hoagies for a flavorful sandwich.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Main ingredients

01 - 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil or grapeseed oil

03 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

04 - 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced or diced

05 - 1 red bell pepper, sliced or diced

06 - 1 yellow onion, sliced or diced

07 - 8 slices provolone cheese

08 - 4 hoagie rolls

09 - 1 batch garlic aioli or mayonnaise

→ Seasoning

10 - All-purpose seasoning or a blend of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Lightly pound chicken breasts to tenderize for more even cooking. Season both sides with all-purpose seasoning or a blend of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

02 - Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Cook chicken breasts for 7–9 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet toward the end of cooking. Transfer chicken to a plate to rest.

03 - Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining unsalted butter to the pan. Once melted, add sliced bell peppers and onion. Season vegetables with all-purpose seasoning, using approximately 1 teaspoon. Sauté until vegetables are tender and deeply colored, about 5–7 minutes. Reduce heat to low.

04 - Slice or dice the cooked chicken. Return chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and turn off the heat.

05 - Cover the chicken and vegetable mixture with provolone cheese slices. Place a lid on the skillet and let cheese melt, approximately 3–5 minutes.

06 - Toast hoagie rolls if desired. Spread garlic aioli or mayonnaise onto both sides of each roll. Evenly divide the chicken, pepper, onion, and cheese mixture among the rolls.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - The chicken, vegetable, and cheese mixture can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two days if preparing fewer sandwiches.
