Tasty Chicken Cheesesteak with Peppers and Onion (Print version)

Thin sliced chicken, sweet peppers, onions, and provolone tucked into toasted hoagie rolls for a fast, cheesy dinner.

# Ingredients:

For the chicken and vegetables

01 - 1 1/4 lb (565 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
03 - 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
04 - 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
05 - 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
06 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
07 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
08 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
10 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
11 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

For serving

12 - 8 slices provolone cheese, or 1 cup (115 g) shredded provolone
13 - 4 hoagie rolls, split
14 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or garlic aioli, optional
15 - 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Open the hoagie rolls and toast them lightly in a dry skillet or a 350 F oven for 4-5 minutes. Spread with mayonnaise or garlic aioli if using.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until softened and browned at the edges. Transfer to a plate.
03 - Pat the sliced chicken dry. Toss it with garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, the remaining salt, and the remaining pepper.
04 - Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add the chicken in an even layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring after the first minute, until browned and cooked through to 165 F.
05 - Return the peppers and onion to the skillet and stir with the chicken. Lay the provolone over the top, cover, and cook on low for 1-2 minutes until melted.
06 - Divide the cheesy chicken mixture among the toasted rolls. Sprinkle with parsley if using and serve hot.

# Good to know:

01 - Slice the chicken while slightly firm for the cleanest thin strips.
02 - For a low carb meal, skip the rolls and serve the filling in bowls.
03 - Best served right after the cheese melts.
