Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 small onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Sandwich Assembly
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 8 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts and season them evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink and has a light golden-brown color.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add the sliced green and red bell peppers and the thinly sliced onion to the skillet with the chicken. Continue cooking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become tender and the chicken is fully cooked through. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and cook for 1 more minute to combine all the flavors.
- Prepare the Rolls and Broil: Preheat your broiler. Slice the hoagie rolls open lengthwise and place them face up on a baking sheet. Spoon the hot chicken and pepper mixture evenly into each roll. Top each with 2 slices of provolone cheese. Place under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the oven and serve immediately while hot for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor and crunch, toast the hoagie rolls lightly before assembling the sandwiches.
- You can substitute mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for provolone to change the flavor profile.
- Use leftover cooked chicken to save time during a busy weeknight.
- Add sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños for additional toppings and spice.
