Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- 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
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
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
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
Arrange the hoagie roll bottoms on the prepared pan. Set the roll tops aside.
- 7
Spread half of the chicken mixture on each roll bottom, then lay 2 slices of provolone cheese side by side on top.
- 8
Broil until the provolone is melted and the hoagie rolls are crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- 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.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
