Ingredients

Scale

Protein

1 lb chicken breast or thigh, thinly sliced

Cheese

6 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese

Vegetables

1 medium bell pepper, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced

Bread

4 sandwich rolls or hoagie buns

Cooking Essentials & Seasonings

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Your choice of seasoning blends (e.g., Italian seasoning, paprika), to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken into thin strips to ensure quick and even cooking. Season the strips with salt, pepper, and your preferred seasonings for an enhanced flavor base.
Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic, sliced onions, and bell peppers. Cook until the vegetables are softened and caramelized, bringing out their natural sweetness and adding a slight crunch to the sandwich.
Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir frequently and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and no longer pink, ensuring the flavors combine well.
Melt the Cheese: Lower the heat, layer the slices of provolone or mozzarella over the chicken and veggies. Cover the skillet briefly to melt the cheese thoroughly, creating a gooey, indulgent texture.
Assemble the Sandwich: Slice the sandwich rolls or hoagie buns and toast them lightly if desired. Spoon the cheesy chicken and vegetable mixture generously onto the bread. Close the sandwich and serve hot for the best taste experience.

Notes

Slice the chicken thinly for quick cooking and optimal texture.
Preheat the skillet to caramelize vegetables and lock in chicken juices.
Add cheese at the end and cover the pan to melt perfectly without overcooking.
Use sturdy sandwich rolls to hold fillings well and avoid sogginess.
Don’t overload the sandwich to maintain easy handling and balanced bites.
