Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 slices provolone cheese (or cheese of your choice)
- 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls
- Optional: hot sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients to streamline the cooking process.
- Slice the chicken breasts thinly (about 1/4 inch thick). For easier slicing, freeze the chicken for 15-20 minutes beforehand.
- In a large bowl, season the sliced chicken with salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Toss to coat evenly.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Lay slices of provolone cheese over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- While the cheese melts, prepare the hoagie rolls by toasting them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes until warm and slightly crispy.
- Assemble the sandwiches by filling each hoagie roll generously with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Optionally, drizzle with hot sauce for added heat.
- Serve the sandwiches warm with your favorite chips or a simple salad.
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
- For added flavor, consider toppings like sautéed mushrooms, jalapeños, or ranch dressing.
