A Philly Chicken Steak Sandwich, also known as a Chicken Philly Sandwich, is a delicious and hearty sandwich that features thinly sliced chicken cooked with bell peppers, onions, and melted cheese. It’s inspired by the famous Philly Cheesesteak but made with chicken instead of beef. Here’s how to make a Philly Chicken Steak Sandwich:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced (you can also use chicken tenders)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of provolone or American cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 4 sub rolls or hoagie rolls
- Optional toppings: mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, etc.
Instructions:
- Cook the Chicken:
- Season the chicken slices with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken slices and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté them over medium heat until they become tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Split the sub or hoagie rolls in half. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each roll.
- Divide the cooked chicken evenly among the sandwiches, placing it on top of the cheese.
- Spoon the sautéed peppers and onions over the chicken.
- Melt the Cheese:
- If you want the cheese to be melted, you can place the assembled sandwiches in the oven under the broiler for a minute or two until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Alternatively, you can place a lid or cover on the skillet with the sandwiches and cook over low heat until the cheese melts.
- Add Toppings (Optional):
- Customize your sandwiches with your favorite toppings like mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, or pickles.
- Serve Your Philly Chicken Steak Sandwiches:
- Place the top half of the rolls on the sandwiches, and serve them while they’re warm.
