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 blogveggies

But since marriage is also about compromise, I made a more girly chicken version of the classic Philly cheesesteak.

CHICKEN

You can use skinless chicken breasts, chicken tenderloins, 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.

rolls

Slice some 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, peppers, mushroom, and sautéed onions on top of the soft hoagie rolls.

Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes or until chicken is done and veggies are soft. Set aside.
