Ultimate Chicken Cheesesteak Masterpiece

I was surprised not to find a recipe on this site for a Philly-style chicken cheesesteak so I decided to create one. Depending on who you ask, this sandwich may or may not be authentic Philly style, but it is fantastic. Getting a good, fresh hoagie roll is key to this sandwich being perfect.

Ingredients

  • 2skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • 1teaspoonseasoned salt

  • 1tablespoonolive oil

  • 1tablespoonbutter

  • ½largeonion, sliced

  • ½mediumgreen bell pepper, sliced

  • 2largefresh mushrooms, sliced

  • 2(10-inch) hoagie rolls, split lengthwise

  • 4slicesprovolone cheese

  • 4slicestomato, or to taste

  • 4leaveslettuce, shredded, or to taste

  • 2teaspoonsmayonnaise, or to taste

Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a work surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2 inch.

  3. Cook chicken breasts on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill, shred meat, and season with seasoned salt.

  4. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

  5. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.

  6. Place hoagie roll bottoms on the prepared pan. Set roll tops aside.

  7. Spread 1/2 of the chicken mixture on each roll bottom, then place 2 slices provolone cheese side-by-side over top.

  8. Broil until provolone is melted and hoagie rolls are crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oven.

  9. Divide tomato slices and lettuce between the two sandwiches. Spread mayonnaise on each roll top and close the sandwiches. Wrap each cheesesteak tightly with aluminum foil, using a knife to push any filling back inside. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes for flavors to blend before serving.

Tips

Use four 6-inch rolls for four smaller chicken cheesesteak sandwiches.

You can use a toaster oven instead of the broiler, if preferred. Don’t skip the foil-wrapping step!
