- Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and mix with the veggies for a delicious combination.
- Place the mixture in hoagie rolls and top with cheese.
- Cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese, then serve warm.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can swap out the chicken for thinly sliced beef or turkey if you prefer. For a vegetarian option, try using grilled portobello mushrooms or marinated tofu.
- Optional Variations: Add sliced jalapeños for some heat, or experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella for a unique twist.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water to keep the rolls from drying out.
