Chicken Cheese Steak Sandwiches – Juicy, Cheesy & Irresistible!
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 slices provolone cheese (or mozzarella/cheddar)
- 2 hoagie rolls or sub rolls
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
1. Prep Chicken & Veggies: Thinly slice the chicken breasts and season with the garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce.
2. Heat the Pan: Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the seasoned chicken until cooked through and lightly browned.
3. Add Onions & Peppers: Push the chicken to one side, then add the sliced onion and green pepper. Sauté until the onions are softened and slightly caramelized.
4. Melt the Cheese: Divide the chicken-vegetable mixture into two portions in the skillet if needed. Lay two slices of cheese over each portion and allow them to melt and cover the meat.
5. Toast the Rolls: Meanwhile, spread butter on the inside of the hoagie rolls and toast them lightly until golden.
6. Assemble the Sandwich: Divide the cheesy chicken mixture evenly and place it into each toasted roll, ensuring every bite gets that juicy-cheesy goodness.
7. Serve: Serve immediately while the cheese is melty and the sandwich is warm, for maximum deliciousness.
Notes
Choose the Right Chicken: Using fresh, high-quality chicken breasts will ensure the best flavor and texture.
Caramelize the Onions Properly: Patience is key when caramelizing onions – the extra time and effort will pay off with a delightful sweetness.
Cheese Selection: While provolone is a classic choice, don’t be afraid to experiment with other melty cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar.
Toasting Techniques: Lightly toasting the rolls before assembling the sandwiches will add a delightful crunch without drying them out.
Customizations: Feel free to add sautéed mushrooms, sliced jalapeños, or even a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to take your Chicken Cheese Steak Sandwiches to new heights.
