Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients

For the cheesesteaks:

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 tablespoon Italian seasoning, divided
  • 1 yellow onion sliced in strips
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced in strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced in strips
  • 8 ounces white button mushrooms washed and sliced
  • cup chicken broth
  • 4 hoagie rolls or demi baguettes
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil or butter for brushing buns
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese

For the garlic aioli

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 4 tablespoon chives fresh and diced

Instructions

To make the aioli:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, lemon juice, minced garlic and diced chives.
  • Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  • Stir well to combine and set aside.

To make the chicken Phillies:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees for toasting the sandwich bread.
  • Prepare the aioli.
  • Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  • Pat the diced chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the Italian seasoning.
  • Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Set chicken aside on a plate.
  • Toss in the sliced onions and peppers, cooking for 4-5 minutes. 
  • Add in the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook another 2-3 minutes until veggies are softened and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the chicken back to the pan, along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning and chicken broth.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer until broth has reduced and thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, place the sliced hoagie rolls or baguettes onto a baking sheet. Brush with melted butter on the inside of each roll. Place in the pre-heated oven for 2-3 minutes on the middle rack to toast.
  • Once the bread is toasted, remove from the oven and assemble your sandwiches.
    Spread the chive aioli onto the inside of each side of bun. Top with the chicken vegetable mixture and a layer of shredded mozzarella. Enjoy

Notes

Notes: Try using avocado mayonnaise (found in most grocery stores) So good! There are more suggestions above in the post as well.
Place assembled sandwiches under the broiler if you want the cheese melted and bubbly! You can also mix up your cheese choices to suit your preferences!
