Ingredients
2 tablespoons avocado oil (divided; can substitute with vegetable, canola, or olive oil)
8 ounces boneless chicken breasts or thighs, trimmed of excess fat
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 large onion (white or yellow), thinly sliced
4 slices provolone cheese (or alternatives like Cheez Whiz, white American, or Swiss cheese)
2 rolls such as sausage rolls, hoagie buns, or similar sturdy sandwich rolls
Instructions
1-First, season the chicken with salt, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, then let it rest at room temperature for a few minutes to enhance the flavors.
2-Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until itβs fully cooked through, then transfer it to a bowl and cover with foil to keep it warm.
3-Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Toss in the sliced peppers, onions, remaining garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are slightly charred and tender.
4-Thinly slice the cooked chicken and add it back to the pan with the vegetables and any juices. Reduce the heat to medium-low, stir everything together, and let the flavors blend for a minute or two.
5-Divide the mixture into two piles in the skillet. Top each pile with 2 slices of provolone cheese and let it melt, covering the skillet to trap the heat if needed.
6-Warm the rolls in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them soft and ready for filling.
7-Scoop the cheesy chicken and vegetable mixture into each warmed roll and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
