# Directions:
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 - Optionally spread mayonnaise on the inside of each roll. 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 Hints:
01 -
- The chicken stays tender while developing those gorgeous caramelized edges
- Everything cooks in one skillet, making cleanup surprisingly easy
- You can customize the cheese and veggies based on what everyone in the family actually eats
02 -
- Cutting the chicken while it is slightly frozen makes slicing those thin strips so much easier
- Do not rush the vegetables, they need time to soften and sweeten up in the pan
- Letting the cheese melt covered creates that signature sauce that makes these unforgettable
03 -
- Cook the chicken in two batches if your pan is crowded to avoid steaming instead of browning
- Butter the rolls generously, that crispy exterior makes the whole experience
