→ Assembly
12 -
6 to 8 slices provolone cheese or white American cheese
13 -
4 hoagie rolls, split, lightly toasted optional
14 -
Optional spreads: garlic-herb mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, or butter
# Steps:
01 -
In a large bowl, toss the thinly sliced chicken with Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the thinly sliced onion and both bell peppers with a pinch of kosher salt. Sauté, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes until vegetables are tender and beginning to caramelize. Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant. Transfer vegetables to a plate and set aside.
03 -
If needed, add a touch of olive oil to the skillet. Increase heat to high. Arrange the seasoned chicken in an even layer and sear for 1 to 2 minutes without moving, then continue cooking for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Season with additional kosher salt and pepper to taste.
04 -
Return the sautéed onions and peppers to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and combine with the chicken. Divide the mixture into four even portions and top each with 1 to 2 slices of provolone or white American cheese. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt, about 30 to 60 seconds.
05 -
If desired, spread each hoagie roll with garlic-herb mayonnaise, Dijon, or butter. Fill each roll with a cheesy chicken and vegetable portion. Serve immediately while hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Thinly slicing chicken ensures even cooking and allows the meat to absorb more flavor from the marinade and skillet.
