A delicious twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak with tender chicken, sautéed veggies, and melty provolone cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 bell peppers (green and red), sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6–8 slices provolone (or white American cheese)
  • 4 hoagie rolls, split (lightly toasted optional)
  • Optional spreads: garlic-herb mayo, Dijon, or a pat of butter

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the chicken is evenly seasoned.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the unsalted butter. Once hot, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook for 6–8 minutes until tender. Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking for an additional 30 seconds before transferring the mixture to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, increase the heat to high and add the seasoned chicken. Cook for 3–4 minutes until thoroughly cooked and lightly browned.
  4. Lower the heat to medium-low, return the onion and pepper mixture to the skillet, and form into four mounds. Top each mound with slices of provolone cheese. Cover the skillet for 30–60 seconds, allowing the cheese to melt.
  5. Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture among the split hoagie rolls. Add optional spreads for extra flavor. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For perfect caramelization, avoid overcrowding the pan and cook the veggies in batches if necessary.
