Philadelphia-Inspired Chicken Cheese Hoagie

Philadelphia-Inspired Chicken Cheese Hoagie layers tender grilled chicken with sweet sautéed onions, peppers, and mushrooms under melty provolone in a warm hoagie roll. Fresh lettuce and tomato add crisp contrast while a swipe of mayonnaise ties everything together. It’s great for a casual lunch or an easy weeknight dinner when you want a hearty, flavorful sandwich.

Philadelphia-Inspired Chicken Cheese Hoagie
  1. 1

    Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. 2

    Place the chicken between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a work surface. Pound it firmly with the smooth side of a meat mallet until it is 1/2 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Grill the chicken breasts on the preheated grill until the centers are no longer pink and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill, shred the meat, and season with seasoned salt.

  4. 4

    Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.

  6. 6

    Arrange the hoagie roll bottoms on the prepared pan. Set the roll tops aside.

  7. 7

    Spread half of the chicken mixture on each roll bottom, then lay 2 slices of provolone cheese side by side on top.

  8. 8

    Broil until the provolone is melted and the hoagie rolls are crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oven.

  9. 9

    Divide the tomato slices and lettuce between the two sandwiches. Spread mayonnaise on each roll top and close the sandwiches. Wrap each cheesesteak tightly in aluminum foil, using a knife to push any filling back inside. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes to let the flavors blend before serving.
