  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ large onion, sliced
  • ½ medium green bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 large fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 (10-inch) hoagie rolls, split lengthwise

Information

  • Yield: 2 10-inch sandwiches

  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a work surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
  • Cook chicken breasts on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill, shred meat, and season with seasoned salt.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
  • Place hoagie roll bottoms on the prepared pan. Set roll tops aside.
  • Spread 1/2 of the chicken mixture on each roll bottom, then place 2 slices provolone cheese side-by-side over top.
  • Broil until provolone is melted and hoagie rolls are crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  • Divide tomato slices and lettuce between the two sandwiches. Spread mayonnaise on each roll top and close the sandwiches. Wrap each cheesesteak tightly with aluminum foil, using a knife to push any filling back inside. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes for flavors to blend before serving.
