The main thing to make these philly chicken cheesesteak sandwiches come together so fast is to use kitchen sears to slice the chicken breasts into thin slices. This way the chicken will cook up in no time. You also add flavor to the chicken with some Italian seasoning.
Ingredients to make Philly Chicken Cheesesteak Sandwiches
- OLIVE OIL
- CHICKEN BREASTS
- SALT
- PEPPER
- GARLIC POWDER
- ITALIAN SEASONING
- BUTTER
- MUSHROOMS
- RED BELL PEPPER
- ONION
- GARLIC
- PROVOLONE CHEESE
- HOAGIE ROLL
- MAYONNAISE
Then you need those delicious vegetables in the classic cheesesteak. You can stick to just peppers and onions. However, I also love the addition of mushrooms. Not all of my family likes the vegetables, so I cook the veggies in a separate skillet from the chicken. That way those who want veggies can add them on and those who don’t like them can leave them off.
Then don’t forget about the cheese. I add the provolone top of the chicken once it’s cooked. Then give it a minute or to to melt before compiling the sandwich. Serve it up on a good roll. Traditionally it’s on a soft Italian roll or baguette. I like to get the hoagie rolls from my local Kroger bakery. The roll just needs to be soft but sturdy enough to be an ideal vessel for that filling.
To finish off my sandwich, I like to serve it up with a little mayonnaise on the bun. This is not usually found on a traditional Philly cheesesteak sandwich. However, I personally love the additional creaminess and flavor that it adds to the sandwich. These sandwiches are the perfect comfort food without the wait. Savor the flavor of this fuss-free dinner that is sure the please the whole family!
