My Cooking Experience 👩🍳
With years of experience cooking a variety of sandwiches, I’ve found that using chicken breast for the Philly gives the sandwich a lean, juicy option that still packs a ton of flavor. Sautéing the peppers and onions with a bit of garlic and seasoning brings out their natural sweetness, and topping it all with melted cheese gives the sandwich that irresistible creamy touch. Every bite feels like a celebration of flavors!
Ingredients 🛒
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 🍗
- 2 hoagie rolls 🥖
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (red, green, or a mix) 🌶️
- 1 small onion, sliced 🧅
- 2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices provolone cheese 🧀
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp butter (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions 🍽️
1. Cook the Chicken 🍗
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest before slicing it thinly.
2. Sauté the Vegetables 🧅
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and caramelized. Add the Worcestershire sauce and cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld together.
3. Assemble the Sandwich 🥪
Slice the hoagie rolls and toast them lightly in a toaster or on a griddle. Layer the sliced chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, and provolone cheese on the bottom half of each roll.
4. Melt the Cheese 🔥
Place the sandwich halves under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve and Enjoy! 🍽️
Top with the other half of the hoagie roll and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite side, like fries or a simple salad!
