Instructions
Creating the Ultimate Chicken Cheesesteak is easy if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the boneless chicken breast into thin strips. This helps the chicken cook evenly and quickly.
2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to ensure each strip is coated.
3. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s browned and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
5. Add Vegetables: Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
6. Stir in Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Mix everything well.
7. Melt the Cheese: Lower the heat, and place the slices of provolone cheese over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover with a lid to help the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes.
8. Prepare the Rolls: Meanwhile, slice the hoagie rolls in half without cutting all the way through. You want to create a pocket for the filling.
9. Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cheese is melted, scoop generous portions of the chicken and vegetable mixture into each hoagie roll.
10. Serve: If desired, top with sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick. Serve immediately.
