Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Green bell pepper
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 Yellow onion
• 4 Hoagie rolls
• 8 Provolone cheese slices
• 2 tbsp Butter

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice them into thin strips.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Rub the seasoning mix evenly over the chicken strips.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

While the chicken cooks, core and thinly slice the green bell pepper and red bell pepper. Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the bell peppers and onions, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed peppers and onions. Stir everything together to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, and lightly butter the insides. Toast the rolls in a separate skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.

Step 8

Divide the chicken, pepper, and onion mixture evenly among the hoagie rolls. Place two slices of provolone cheese on top of each sandwich.

Step 9

If desired, place the assembled sandwiches under a broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 10

Serve the Route 66 Diner Philly Chicken sandwiches immediately, with your favorite sides like fries or chips, and enjoy!
