Ingredients
- Chicken breasts
- 2, boneless and skinless
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Green bell pepper
- 1, thinly sliced
- Onion
- 1, thinly sliced (preferably yellow or sweet onion)
- Hoagie rolls
- 2, split
- Provolone cheese
- 4 slices
- Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons
- Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear. Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- While the chicken is resting, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced green bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and slightly caramelized. This step enhances their natural sweetness.
- Once the chicken has rested, slice it into thin strips, ensuring it remains tender.
- Split the hoagie rolls in half and spread the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard evenly on the bottom halves.
- Layer the sliced chicken on top of the mayo and mustard, followed by the sautéed peppers and onions.
- Top each sandwich with two slices of provolone cheese, allowing it to melt beautifully.
- Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
- Remove from the broiler, add the top halves of the rolls, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious creation!
Tips
- For an extra kick, add sliced jalapeños or banana peppers to the sautéed vegetables.
- Feel free to substitute grilled chicken with grilled steak for a more traditional Philly cheesesteak flavor.
- Serve with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
