Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Components

  • 4 hoagie rolls (4–6 inches each)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional for mayo spread)

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 1½ pounds chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Cheese

  • 8 ounces mild provolone cheese, sliced (non-smoked)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hoagie Rolls: Slice each hoagie roll in half and spread butter evenly on both cut sides of each roll.
  2. Toast the Rolls: Heat a large skillet over medium heat, place the buttered rolls cut side down, and toast until lightly browned, about 1-3 minutes. Remove and set aside. Optionally, mix the mayonnaise with garlic powder and spread it inside the rolls for a moist, flavorful addition.
  3. Heat the Skillet for Cooking: Add vegetable oil to the same skillet and increase heat to medium-high to prepare for cooking chicken and vegetables.
  4. Season and Slice Chicken: Thinly slice the chicken breasts and season evenly with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Also have thinly sliced onions and bell peppers ready.
  5. Cook the Chicken: Add the sliced chicken to the hot skillet, spreading it out in a thin layer. Sear on one side for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned, then flip and cook another 1-3 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  6. Sauté Onions and Peppers: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and green bell peppers. Let them sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, then stir and continue cooking until softened, an additional 1-3 minutes.
  7. Combine Chicken and Vegetables with Cheese: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the onions and peppers. Stir everything together and reduce heat to low. Layer the sliced provolone cheese over the mixture, cover the pan with a lid or foil, and let the cheese melt for 1-3 minutes.
  8. Assemble the Sandwiches: Use a spatula to scoop the cheesy chicken and vegetable mixture onto the toasted hoagie rolls.
  9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your hot and melty chicken cheesesteak sandwiches fresh off the skillet!

Notes

  • For a creamier sandwich, mix mayonnaise with garlic powder and spread on the toasted rolls.
  • Make sure to slice the chicken thinly for quick and even cooking.
  • You can substitute provolone with other mild cheeses like mozzarella or American cheese if preferred.
  • Use freshly sliced vegetables for best texture and flavor.
  • Toast the rolls just until golden to add crunch without drying them out.
