Description

Onions, peppers, mushrooms and provolone cheese and piled on grilled chicken and served in a hoagie roll for this Philly-style cheesesteak sandwich.

Ingredients

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 large onion, sliced
1/2 medium green bell pepper, sliced
2 large fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 (10-inch) hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
4 slices provolone cheese
4 slices tomato, or to taste
4 leaves lettuce, shredded, or to taste
2 teaspoons mayonnaise, or to taste

Directions

1 Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
2 Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a work surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
3 Cook chicken breasts on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill, shred meat, and season with seasoned salt.
4 Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
5 Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
6 Place hoagie roll bottoms on the prepared pan. Set roll tops aside.
7 Spread 1/2 of the chicken mixture on each roll bottom, then place 2 slices provolone cheese side-by-side over top.
8 Broil until provolone is melted and hoagie rolls are crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oven.
9 Divide tomato slices and lettuce between the two sandwiches. Spread mayonnaise on each roll top and close the sandwiches. Wrap each cheesesteak tightly with aluminum foil, using a knife to push any filling back inside. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes for flavors to blend before serving.
