Here’s a clear, step-by-step Chicken Philly Sandwich recipe that’s juicy, cheesy, and full of flavor:
Ingredients (serves 2–3)
- 1 lb (450 g) chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 slices Provolone cheese (or American cheese)
- 2–3 hoagie rolls or sandwich buns
Instructions
- Cook the vegetables
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté onions and bell peppers until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the chicken
- In the same skillet, add the remaining oil.
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Cook until golden and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes.
- Combine chicken and vegetables
- Lower heat and return the sautéed peppers and onions to the skillet. Mix well.
- Melt the cheese
- Lay slices of Provolone over the chicken-vegetable mixture.
- Cover the skillet for 1–2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Assemble the sandwich
- Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise.
- Spoon the cheesy chicken and veggie mixture onto the rolls. Serve hot.
💡 Tips
- Toast the rolls lightly for added crunch.
- Add mushrooms or banana peppers for extra flavor.
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or garlic aioli on the rolls if you like.
Optional: I can also give a sheet-pan baked Chicken Philly version that’s even faster with minimal cleanup.
Do you want me to give that version?
