This recipe for a Chicken Philly Cheese Steak is a perfect twist on the classic, and it’s easy to follow! If you’re ready to ditch the usual meal prep and use up that chicken breast, you’re in for a treat.
Ingredients:
- Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless, thinly sliced; you can also use chicken thighs)
- White Hoagie Rolls (or whatever bread you prefer, like wheat or low-carb wraps)
- Mayo (or sauce of your choice)
- Garlic (minced)
- Onions (sliced)
- Bell Peppers (sliced; any color)
- Provolone Cheese (or any melty cheese you like)
- Butter (for toasting and cooking)
- Avocado Oil (optional, for cooking)
- Worcestershire Sauce (adds extra flavor)
- Seasoning (use your favorite, but recommended: all-purpose seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne for heat)
Instructions:
1. Prep the Vegetables:
- Slice the bell peppers and onions evenly. This helps them cook at the same rate.
- Feel free to adjust the veggies to your liking — add mushrooms or leave out the peppers if you prefer.
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Tip: Freeze the chicken for about 30 minutes to make slicing easier.
- Slice the chicken breast into thin, bite-sized pieces. Use a sharp knife to make this step smooth.
- Season the chicken with your choice of seasonings (all-purpose seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, a little cayenne for spice).
3. Toast the Bread:
- Slice your hoagie rolls open (don’t cut all the way through) to create a pocket.
- Melt butter in a skillet and toast the rolls until golden brown. Press them down a bit for an even toast.
- Set the rolls aside after they’re nicely toasted.
4. Cook the Veggies:
- In the same skillet, add more butter and a bit of avocado oil if you like.
- Toss in your bell peppers, onions, and garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and a bit of all-purpose seasoning.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes until they soften. If you want it spicier, feel free to add jalapenos or red pepper flakes.
5. Cook the Chicken:
- Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the chicken in batches (to avoid steaming it).
- Get the chicken nice and golden brown for flavor and texture.
- Once both batches are cooked, add them all back into the skillet with the veggies.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce and cook off any liquid, leaving a flavorful mix.
6. Add Cheese:
- Once everything is combined, sprinkle a generous amount of provolone cheese over the chicken and veggies.
- Let it melt until gooey and bubbly.
7. Assemble the Sandwich:
- Spread Duke’s mayonnaise (or your favorite sauce) on the inside of the toasted rolls.
- Pile the cheesy, chicken-veggie mixture into the rolls.
8. Final Touch:
- For a pop of freshness and color, sprinkle some chopped parsley over the top.
- Enjoy your delicious Chicken Philly Cheese Steak!
Tips:
- Customizable: Adjust the veggies (mushrooms, spinach, or jalapenos) and cheese based on your preferences.
- To make it even healthier: Serve it on a low-carb wrap or opt for a whole-wheat roll.
This dish is great for a quick dinner, and the taste test will definitely be worth it. The perfect combination of savory chicken, melted cheese, and flavorful veggies in a toasted roll. Enjoy! Let me know if you try it out!
