The Best chicken philly cheese steak recipe

I love making this chicken philly cheese steak recipe for my family. It is a healthier twist on the classic beef version, and my kids gobble it up every time. The chicken is tender, the peppers and onions are perfectly sauteed, and the melted provolone cheese ties it all together. This recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner because it comes together in under 30 minutes. Plus, using chicken breast instead of beef makes it a lighter option that still feels like a hearty, satisfying meal. I like that I can sneak in extra vegetables and serve it on a whole wheat roll for more fiber. It is one of those meals that everyone around the table enjoys, and it makes me happy to see them eating something so delicious and wholesome.

🥘Ingredients

For the Chicken

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder

For the Vegetables

1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil

For the Sandwiches

4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls
4 slices provolone cheese
1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)

👨‍🍳Directions

1Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened and starting to caramelize.
3Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute to warm everything through.
4Split the hoagie rolls open and lightly toast them if desired. Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly among the rolls. Top each with a slice of provolone cheese.
5Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Serve immediately.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Chicken Philly Cheese Steak

1. Can I use a different cut of chicken?

Yes, you can use chicken thighs instead of breasts. They will be a bit more tender and juicy. Just make sure to slice them thinly so they cook quickly.

2. What kind of cheese is best for a chicken philly cheese steak?

Provolone is the most traditional choice. It melts well and has a mild flavor that does not overpower the chicken. Mozzarella or white American cheese are also good options.

3. Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

You can cook the chicken and vegetables ahead and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you are ready to eat, reheat the mixture in a skillet and assemble the sandwiches with cheese. Broil for a minute to melt the cheese.

To prevent soggy rolls, lightly toast them before adding the filling. You can also spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or butter on the inside of the roll to create a barrier.

5. Is this recipe gluten free?

No, it is not gluten free because of the hoagie rolls. To make it gluten free, use gluten free sandwich rolls or serve the chicken and vegetables over rice or a salad.
