Description
In our house, sandwiches are a popular dinner and these Oven Baked Chicken Cheesesteak Sandwiches are one of the top favorites. Easy-to-make with sliced chicken and cheese, plus the addition of bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
Ingredients
Scale
- 22 ounces Oven Roasted Chicken Breast Sliced Lunch Meat (I used Castle Wood from Sam’s Club)
- 1 pound Provolone Cheese Slices (divided; I used Castle Wood from Sam’s Club)
- 6 Hoagie or Sub Rolls (not completely sliced; one side still intact)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 bell peppers (your choice of color, sliced and seeded)
- 1 large onion (sliced)
- 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
Instructions
- Open lunch meat and turn entire package out onto a cutting board. Cut the pile of lunch meat in thirds cuts with a knife so the pieces will be smaller, but not chopped. Set aside.
- Remove 6-12 slices of provolone cheese from the pound (depends on if you want one or two slices on top of your sandwich for melting). Cut the remaining Provolone cheese slices in quarters. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and add bell peppers and onions. Saute until just tender-crisp. Add mushrooms to mixture, saute until slightly softened. Turn heat off. If there is any liquid in the bottom of skillet, drain this off. Add chicken lunch meat into vegetable mixture by gently folded into the mixture. Once the lunch meat is combined with the vegetables, add the cheese that was cut in quarters and fold into the mixture. If necessary, turn the heat on low to help the cheese melt. Remove from heat once cheese is just barely melted with mixture. Once again, if any liquid is in bottom of skillet, drain off.
- Tear a piece of foil that will be large enough to wrap around a sandwich and spray it with a bit of cooking spray (this helps to make sure the cheese won’t stick to it). Lay the foil on your work space, sprayed side upwards, and place the roll on the foil. Add 1/6th of the Chicken Cheesesteak mixture to the roll. Top with 1-2 slices of Provolone cheese, tear to fit, if necessary.
- Wrap the entire sandwich in the foil, taking care to keep keep cheese side upwards. Repeat with remaining sandwich rolls. Place foil wrapped sandwiches, cheese side up, on a baking sheet and bake in a 400 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted, mixture is hot, and bread is slightly toasted. Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, unwrap carefully, and enjoy!
Notes
–If you prefer, you don’t have to wrap individually in foil. Simply place the filled hoagie rolls on your baking sheet, side by side, and bake until hot and bubbly.
–If you like avocado, before adding the cheese slices to the top of your sandwich, add a few slices of avocado, and then top with the cheese and bake as usual.
