# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1/2 tsp salt
04 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
05 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
06 - 1/2 tsp paprika

10 - 2 tbsp olive oil

→ Sandwich Assembly

11 - 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls
12 - 8 slices provolone cheese
13 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F.
02 - Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.
03 - Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the same skillet. Add sliced chicken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
04 - Return sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the chicken. Stir to combine and heat through for 2 minutes.
05 - Slice hoagie rolls lengthwise, leaving one edge intact. Lightly butter the insides. Place rolls on a baking sheet, cut side up, and toast in the oven for 3–4 minutes until golden.
06 - Divide chicken and vegetable mixture evenly among toasted rolls. Top each with 2 slices provolone cheese.
07 - Return sandwiches to the oven for 3–4 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
08 - Serve immediately while hot.
