# What You Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1/2 tsp salt
04 - 1/4 tsp black pepper

→ Vegetables

05 - 1 large onion, thinly sliced

→ Seasonings

10 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
11 - 1/2 tsp paprika

→ Optional

12 - 2 tbsp mayonnaise
13 - 1 tbsp butter (for toasting rolls)

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, add onions and bell peppers. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
03 - Return the chicken to the skillet and toss with the vegetables. Lay the provolone slices over the mixture, cover, and let cheese melt for 1-2 minutes.
04 - Spread mayonnaise on the inside of each roll if desired. Melt butter in a clean skillet and toast the split rolls, cut side down, until golden.
05 - Divide the chicken-cheese mixture among the rolls. Serve hot.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in just 35 minutes, making it perfect for weeknight dinners when you're short on time but still want something substantial
  • The combination of tender chicken, caramelized vegetables, and melted provolone feels like restaurant-quality food without the delivery price tag
02 -
  • Don't crowd the pan when cooking the chicken, or it'll steam instead of sear—work in batches if your skillet is small
  • The vegetables need time to soften and develop sweetness, so don't rush this step even if you're hungry
03 -
  • Pre-slice your vegetables and chicken the night before for a 15-minute weeknight meal that still feels special
  • If your rolls are slightly stale, run them under water and pop them in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes—they'll taste freshly baked
