- 1 piece bell pepper, sliced Red or orange preferred for sweetness.
- 1 piece onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking.
- 4 slices cheese (provolone or American) Use high-quality or classic processed cheese.

- to taste salt and pepper For seasoning.
Instructions
Preparation
- Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a large skillet and warm it over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Add the sliced chicken in a single layer, allowing it to caramelize for 1 minute before flipping to cook through for a total of 4-6 minutes.
- Toss in the sliced bell pepper and onion, then season with salt and pepper, sautéing until tender but still crisp.
- Arrange 4 slices of cheese over the mixture and cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
- While the cheese melts, split and toast your hoagie rolls in a separate skillet or under the broiler until lightly browned.
- Assemble the sandwich by scooping the chicken, pepper, and cheese mixture into each toasted roll. Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider brushing the inside of the roll with olive oil or butter before toasting. You can also add hot sauce or arugula for a peppery brightness.
