Friday nights in our dinner consists of something easy. Sometimes we get take-out or I make this easy recipe and by using whole wheat sub rolls and chicken instead of steak makes it a little bit healthier than the local sub shop sandwich.
CHICKEN CHEESE STEAK SUBS
Yield: 4-6 Servings
• 2 whole boneless chicken breasts (season with salt and pepper)
• Whole Wheat Hoagie or sub rolls
• 1 large sweet onion
• 2 medium peppers (one red one green)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 6-8 American cheese slices (you can use any cheese)
Instructions
Prep the peppers and onions by de-seeding and slicing them into thin ribbon-like strips. Put the olive oil in the pot where you will cook the onions and peppers. Add the onions and peppers to the oiled pan. While the peppers begin to brown, prep the chicken by cutting the breasts into small cubes and salt and pepper them. Add the chicken to another pan with 1 tablespoon oil . You will want to stir the chicken and peppers often to make sure they cook evenly and it’ll be easy to see when the peppers are done as they’ll soften. When they are cooked, just reduce the heat or shut the heat off and cover the pan to keep them warm. When the chicken is cooked add the peppers and onions to the pan and mix it all together. Then top with the cheese. Turn the heat to low and let the cheese melt into the chicken. Open the sub rolls, add the cheesy chicken peppers and onions. Yumm! – Erika

My husband would love, love this. He loves cheese and sandwiches, but mostly cheese! It looks pretty healthy as well.
This looks so good! Actually it looks like what we ordered at a sub shop on vacation two months ago. Ended up paying nearly $40 for a sub and a side potato salad for just three of us. Won’t be going back. 🙂 Thank you for the recipe!
