CHICKEN PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SANDWICH

A part of being married is learning to love what your other half loves. Or at least try. Whether it’s basketball, Storage Wars, or Philly cheesesteaks covered in Cheez Whiz. I don’t think I ever had a Philly cheesesteak before I was married but ever since I’ve had a whole lot of them.

When we go to a restaurant I can almost predict that my husband will order a traditional Philly cheesesteak or something covered in Buffalo sauce, which is why I also have so many Buffalo recipes on this blog.

But since marriage is also about compromise, I made a more girly chicken version of the classic Philly cheesesteak. This chicken cheesesteak recipe still has peppers, white onions, mushrooms, and  melty Provolone cheese but use chicken which I always have on hand.

I’m embarrassed to say that I ate two of these for lunch and three for dinner. It wasn’t my finest moment.

CHICKEN

You can use skinless chicken breasts or boneless skinless chicken thighs for these chicken cheesesteak sandwiches. You could do ground chicken or rotisserie chicken but it isn’t my first choice if you want juicy chicken. You want thin slices for this sandwich.

Slice some mini hoagie buns or Cuban rolls and spread some butter on them and toast them for a couple of minutes.

After you’ve toasted them spread some garlic mayo on top generously.

Pile your tender chicken, green pepper, mushroom, and sautéed onions on top of the soft hoagie rolls.

Add some sliced Provolone, Mozzarella, or White American cheese on top.

Melt the cheese and sprinkle some garlic salt on top. This adds a lot of flavor.

You can also use leftover chicken that you already have. Just throw it in when the veggies are almost done to get it heated through.
