Chicken Philly Cheesesteak

 


Chicken Philly Cheesesteak

Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts weighed after trimming

2 Tablespoons olive oil divided

1 teaspoon lemon pepper

2 teaspoons garlic salt

2 teaspoons onion powder

1 small green bell pepper about 1/2 cup sliced

1 small red bell pepper about 1/2 cup sliced

½ cup sliced onion

½ cup queso blanco dip

3 hoagie buns

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Before You Begin

If preferred, you can substitute with provolone cheese, Swiss, American cheese, or cheez wiz.

We chose to cut our chicken into bite-sized chunks, but you can slice them thinly as you would in the beef version instead. It should go without saying that you can definitely use chicken thighs if that’s what you prefer! 

If you are lucky enough to find Amoroso rolls near you those are also an excellent option.

Optionally deconstruct the chicken cheesesteak to make a bowl without the additional carbs and calories from the hoagie roll if you want to keep it light.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 250 F.

If you have thick chicken breasts, butterfly each one, or gently pound with a meat mallet, to get them to an even thickness. This ensures that they cook quicker, and they are finished cooking at the same time.

In a small bowl, mix together half of the olive oil, the lemon pepper, garlic salt, and onion powder. Spread mixture all over the chicken, both sides.

Heat remaining olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add seasoned chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until nicely browned and chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 F.

Remove chicken from pan and set aside to rest. Do not clean out the skillet.

Add bell peppers and onion to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until tender, about 3-5 minutes.

Meanwhile chop chicken into bite sized chunks. Add chicken chunks to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss to combine.

Add Queso dip and stir to coat, heating through. Turn off skillet.

Place hoagie buns in a baking pan and open them up. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among all the sandwich buns. Top each sandwich with mozzarella cheese.

Place baking pan into preheated oven and toast sandwiches for 5 minutes.
