Ingredients for Chicken Philly Cheesesteak

The chicken Philly cheesesteak is just like the classic beef Philly cheesesteak. Build your sandwich with any or all of the toppings you enjoy most.

• Chicken breast: Instead of using beef, chicken philly cheesesteak uses boneless skinless chicken breast as the protein base of the sandwich. Substitute with boneless skinless chicken thighs for an even juicier, softer meat.
• Green bell pepper: Bell peppers are a necessary veggie for both Philly versions. Swap out green peppers with the slightly sweeter yellow or red bell peppers.
• Onion: The flavor of caramelized onions is to die for! Use yellow, sweet, or white onions.
• Mushroom: Softened, cooked mushrooms provide a mild sweetness combined with an umami taste to your philly sandwich.
• Cheese: The traditional Philly cheesesteak cheese of choice is provolone for its neutral flavor and easy melting. Sliced white American cheese and Swiss cheese are great alternatives. Many Philadelphia food trucks swear by using Cheez Whiz, too!
• Hoagie: A classic Philly is made with a hoagie roll (long flat roll). However, any white roll or sandwich bread will work. Use what you’ve got!
• Seasoning: Add a dash of salt and pepper to add more flavor to the chicken as it’s cooking or to the sandwich at the end.
