This time of the year when it is a good thing to have some easy recipes that you can fall back on. This recipe comes together fast and is delicious to the last bite. Serve it on your favorite bun with a little fruit on the side and you are set.

There is something about a sandwich that is filled with tender meat, onions, peppers, and a lot of cheese. I have always loved a classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich and this one with the chicken every bit as good.

Helpful Tips:

  • Chicken breast works well for this sandwich.
  • Cut the chicken strips thin. This way they fry up fast and are nice and tender.
  • Don’t overcook the chicken strips, overcooking will cause you to have dry chicken.
  • I like using green and red peppers for this sandwich for the flavor and the color that they give.
  • Cut the veggies up the day before to save time.
  • I love adding sauteed mushrooms to this sandwich too.
  • Cover the skillet after putting the cheese on the meat and veggies, it helps the cheese to melt a lot faster.

Notes

  1. Slice the chicken, green peppers, red peppers, and onions thin.
  2.  Chicken breast works well for this recipe, but if you prefer you can use boneless chicken thighs.
  3. Watch the chicken closely, do not overcook. Overcooking will result in dry chicken.
  4. Mushrooms can be added to the skillet when sauteing the peppers and onions. They make a great addition.
  5. Serve on your favorite bun.
