I Loved this recipe. In my opinion and for my taste, (because I do not like all the fake cheese whiz/ketchup stuff) this was very delicious. I actually made it very low fat by using low fat cheese and the light rolls. So It can be made to meet Weight Watcher's standards. This is a nice addition to the menu. Thanks
Chicken Philly Sandwiches
Taking a cue from the classic Philly cheese steak, this recipe replaces the traditional beef with chicken but keeps the cheese and onion-bell pepper topping. Pressing the already-warm filling helps the cheese melt and binds the ingredients so they don't fall out as you enjoy the sandwich.

Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into (1-inch-thick) strips
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup red bell pepper strips
- 1 cup green bell pepper strips
- 1 cup vertically sliced onion
- 1 1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- 4 (3-ounce) submarine rolls (such as Cobblestone Mill brand)
- 4 (1-ounce) slices provolone cheese
Preparation
- Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Sauté 5 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from pan. Add red bell pepper and next 5 ingredients (red bell pepper through garlic) to pan; sauté 6 minutes or until tender. Stir in chicken and pepper sauce; remove from heat.
- Slice each roll in half horizontally, cutting to, but not through, other side. Place 1 cheese slice and 1 cup chicken mixture on bottom half of each roll, and gently press roll halves together.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add 2 sandwiches. Place a cast-iron or heavy skillet on top of sandwiches; press gently to flatten. Cook 4 minutes on each side or until cheese melts and bread is toasted (leave skillet on sandwiches while they cook). Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
