Delicious Chicken Cheese Steak Sandwiches filled with tender chicken and flavorful vegetables topped with melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 450 g chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, any color, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, optional
- 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls
- 4 slices provolone cheese or American cheese
- Optional: sautéed mushrooms, pickled jalapeños, or extra onions and bell peppers for topping
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and no longer pink, approximately 5–7 minutes.
- Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in the garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, and thyme. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. If desired, add the soy sauce and incorporate thoroughly.
- While the filling cooks, lightly toast the hoagie rolls in an oven or toaster oven until just crisp.
- Lay a slice of provolone cheese on the bottom half of each toasted roll. Spoon the hot chicken and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese.
- Place the assembled sandwiches under a broiler or in a toaster oven for 1–2 minutes, until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
- Finish with preferred toppings such as sautéed mushrooms, pickled jalapeños, or extra vegetables as desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to customize with your favorite toppings.
- For a spicier kick, add chopped jalapeños to the filling.
- Make sure to slice the chicken thinly for even cooking.
