Grilled Philly Chicken Recipe

Grilled Philly Chicken Directions

1. 1

   Marinate the chicken

   In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes to infuse flavor and tenderize.

2. 2

   Prep the vegetables

   While the chicken marinates, slice the green bell pepper into thin strips and slice the yellow onion. Set aside. Rinse mushrooms and slice if needed.

3. 3

   Sauté mushrooms

   In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté mushrooms until golden and caramelized, about 4-6 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

4. 4

   Grill or sear the chicken

   Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

5. 5

   Sauté peppers and onions

   In the same pan used for mushrooms, add a little olive oil if needed and sauté the green pepper strips and onion slices until tender and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

6. 6

   Toast rolls with cheese

   Lightly toast the hoagie rolls on the grill or in a skillet. Place a few slices of provolone cheese on each roll and allow to melt slightly.

7. 7

   Assemble the Philly chicken sandwiches

   Spread mayo on the inside of the rolls (optional). Layer melted cheese, grilled chicken slices, sautéed peppers and onions, and sautéed mushrooms on each roll. Close and serve immediately.

8. 8

   Serve

   Divide sandwiches between plates and serve hot. Optional toppings: extra hot peppers or a squeeze of lemon.
