I was surprised not to find a recipe on this site for a Philly-style chicken cheesesteak so I decided to create one. Depending on who you ask, this sandwich may or may not be authentic Philly style, but it is fantastic. Getting a good, fresh hoagie roll is key to this sandwich being perfect.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. 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. 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. 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. 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. 6

    Place hoagie roll bottoms on the prepared pan. Set roll tops aside.

  7. 7

    Spread 1/2 of the chicken mixture on each roll bottom, then place 2 slices provolone cheese side-by-side over top.

  8. 8

    Broil until provolone is melted and hoagie rolls are crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oven.

  9. 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.
