Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced

4 ounces mushrooms, sliced (optional)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

4 slices provolone cheese (or your favorite cheese)

4 large hoagie rolls or sub rolls

Optional toppings: mayonnaise, hot sauce, sautéed jalapeños

Instructions
 

Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, add the olive oil and warm over medium-high heat until shimmering.

    Cook the Chicken: Carefully place the thin slices of chicken in the skillet. Season generously with smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and mushrooms (if using). Sauté the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender and begin to caramelize. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, just until fragrant.

        Combine and Melt: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Carefully mix everything together to combine. Next, lay the slices of provolone cheese evenly across the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and gooey.

          Assemble the Sandwiches: While the cheese is melting, take the hoagie rolls and slice them open lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. If desired, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of the rolls for added creaminess. Generously fill each roll with the cheesy chicken and vegetable mixture.

            Serve: Serve the sizzling chicken cheesesteak sandwiches immediately while hot. Offer optional toppings like hot sauce or sautéed jalapeños on the side for those who enjoy an extra kick.
