Instructions

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers, seasoning them with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts and Italian seasoning to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine everything evenly. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the chicken turns golden and is no longer pink inside, which should take about 10 minutes.
Melt the Cheese: Once the chicken and peppers are cooked, lay the slices of provolone cheese over the mixture. Cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt, which should take about 1 minute.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Open each hoagie roll and fill them generously with the cheesy chicken and peppers mixture. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce while cooking the chicken.
If preferred, substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or American cheese.
To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free hoagie rolls or buns.
Ensure chicken slices are thin for even cooking and tender texture.
Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet or microwave but are best fresh.
