How to Make Chicken Cheese Steak Sandwiches:

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the thinly sliced chicken and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.
4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Veggies

1. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the sliced onion and bell pepper.
2. Season with salt and pepper and sauté over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, until the veggies are tender and caramelized.
3. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and toss everything together.

Step 3: Toast the Rolls (Optional)

1. If you prefer toasted rolls, heat a pan over medium heat.
2. Spread butter on the inside of the sandwich rolls and place them butter-side down in the skillet.
3. Toast for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwiches

1. Divide the chicken and veggie mixture evenly among the sandwich rolls.
2. Top each sandwich with a slice of provolone cheese.
3. Cover the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

• Serve hot and enjoy the melty, cheesy goodness! You can also add extra toppings like hot sauce or pickles for a little extra flavor.

Tips for Success:

Use thinly sliced chicken—it cooks faster and gives a more tender texture.
Add mushrooms for extra flavor and richness!
For extra crunch, try adding some pickled jalapeños or lettuce to your sandwich.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with crispy fries or a simple side salad.
