Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
Vegetables and Flavorings
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Assembly
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Season Chicken: In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, salt, cumin, dried oregano, and black pepper. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the thinly sliced chicken breasts, making sure each piece is well coated.
- Cook Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken slices and cook for 5-6 minutes, until browned and cooked through, with no pink remaining. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the same skillet. Add sliced onions, green bell peppers, and red bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and starting to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Worcestershire Sauce: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30-45 seconds until fragrant. Then add the Worcestershire sauce to deglaze the pan and enhance the flavor.
- Combine Chicken and Vegetables: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Melt Cheese: Reduce heat to low. Lay the provolone slices over the chicken and vegetables mixture in the skillet. Cover with a lid and let the cheese melt for 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Slice open the hoagie rolls and spoon the cheesy chicken and vegetable mixture evenly into each roll.
- Serve: Serve the Chicken Philly Sandwiches immediately while hot and melty for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Thinly slice the chicken breasts to ensure quick and even cooking.
- You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or cheddar for a different flavor profile.
- For a spicier version, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the seasoning.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat sandwiches in a skillet or oven to preserve the melted cheese texture.
