Philly-Style Chicken Cheese Steak image

I was surprised not to find a recipe on Allrecipes for a Philly-style Chicken Cheese Steak so I decided to create and publish one. Depending on who you ask, this sandwich may or may not be authentic Philly style, but it is fantastic. Getting a good, fresh hoagie roll is key to this sandwich being perfect.

Time 32m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
½ large onion, sliced
½ green bell pepper, sliced
2 fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 fresh hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
4 slices provolone cheese
2 teaspoons mayonnaise, or to taste
4 slices tomato, or to taste
4 leaves lettuce, shredded, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a work surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a 1/2-inch thickness.
  • Cook chicken breasts on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Shred chicken; season with seasoned salt.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in chicken; cook until heated through.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler, or preheat a toaster oven.
  • Spread chicken mixture on the bottom half of each hoagie roll. Lay 2 pieces of provolone cheese side-by-side over chicken mixture.
  • Place hoagie rolls under broiler or in toaster oven and cook until provolone cheese is melted and bread is crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise on top half of each hoagie roll. Top each half with 2 tomato slices and 1/2 of the lettuce. Fold halves together and roll each hoagie tightly in foil, using a knife to push any filling back inside. Set aside for flavors to blend, 1 to 2 minutes.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SANDWICH (((AUTHENTIC)))



Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich (((Authentic))) image

I was born and raised in Philadelphia and this was my favorite lunch at the luncheonettes (sandwich shops). Places throughout the rest of the Country that claim to make Philly Cheese Steaks just do not get them to taste the same, and one of the reasons is that they do not use extra-virgin olive oil. Anyone who says that Pat's and Gino's in South Philly uses Cheez Wiz, is talking about the way they make it now. The old authentic way uses Provolone Cheese. Also, using deli roast beef is the same as using top round sliced wafer thin or frozen Rib-Eye roast shaved on an electric slicer. I was born in 1942 and this is the way they were made way back then. We are talking about authentic, not the way they are made now. If you make any changes with the ingredients or the directions, it will not be the same. Make it EXACTLY as written here.

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large hoagie rolls or 2 large sub rolls
1/2 lb deli roast beef (very rare, sliced wafer thin, or you can use a frozen Rib-Eye roast shaved on an electric slicer, wh)
1 white onion (thinly sliced)
1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced) (optional)
2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
1/2 lb provolone cheese (thinly sliced)
extra virgin olive oil (for grilling)
salt and pepper
marinara sauce (optional topping) or ketchup (optional topping)

Steps:

  • Heat a griddle or a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, cover bottom with olive oil.
  • Add the onions and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until carmelized, which will take about 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, salt and pepper, and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Then, push the mixture off to one side of the griddle.
  • Add the meat to the hot part of the griddle.
  • Cook, continuously flipping the meat over and slightly chopping the meat into slightly smaller pieces with 2 spatulas, until the meat is not pink, which should take about 2 minutes.
  • Mix the meat and the carmelized onions and bell pepper together.
  • Divide into 2 portions, and top both portions with the cheese to melt.
  • If using Italian or French bread, cut the bread in half, crosswise, and slice lengthwise to open for the 2 sandwiches.
  • Hollow out some of the soft white bread part from inside and place face down on top of the meat and cheese.
  • When the cheese is melted, and with 1 or 2 spatulas, flip the sandwiches over and add topping, such as marinara sauce or ketchup, if desired, and serve immediately.
