Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 small onion
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 3–4 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Sandwich Components:
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
Optional Toppings:
- Mayonnaise
- Mustard
- Hot sauce
- Sliced pickles or banana peppers
- Lettuce
- Tomato
Instructions
- Sauté sliced onions and bell peppers in olive oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until caramelized and tender. Transfer to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, cook thinly sliced chicken with garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper at medium-high heat until fully cooked and no longer pink, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the chicken and stir briefly, allowing aromatics to release for about 60 seconds.
- Reintroduce the previously caramelized onions and peppers into the skillet, mixing thoroughly with the cooked chicken.
- Layer provolone cheese slices across the chicken and vegetable mixture, allowing cheese to melt completely and create a creamy coating.
- Meanwhile, prepare hoagie rolls by lightly toasting them in a separate skillet with butter or in a preheated oven at 350°F for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Generously pile the melted cheesy chicken mixture onto the warm toasted hoagie rolls, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for added color and herbaceous flavor before serving immediately while hot.
Notes
- Optimize meat slicing by freezing chicken for 15-20 minutes before cutting, ensuring ultra-thin, uniform slices that cook quickly and evenly.
- Create dairy-free version by substituting provolone with dairy-free cheese alternatives like cashew or coconut-based cheese slices for lactose-intolerant individuals.
- Boost protein content by adding extra lean chicken or incorporating sliced mushrooms for vegetable lovers wanting more substantial filling.
- Enhance flavor complexity by experimenting with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar or spicy pepper jack for unique taste profiles.
