Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to warm the hoagie buns. Butterfly or pound thick chicken breasts for even cooking.
  2. Mix half the olive oil with lemon pepper, garlic salt, and onion powder. Coat each chicken breast with the marinade and let sit for flavor infusion.
  3. Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook seasoned chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and 165°F internal temperature. Remove and let rest.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté chopped green and red bell peppers with sliced onion for 3-5 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  5. Chop rested chicken, add it back to the skillet with veggies, and stir to combine for about 2 minutes over low heat.
  6. Pour in the queso blanco dip, stir until heated and combined with chicken and vegetables, then remove from heat.
  7. Open hoagie buns in a baking pan. Fill each bun with chicken and veggies mixture, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
  8. Toast filled hoagie buns in the oven for about 5 minutes until warm and cheese is melted, avoiding burning.

Notes

Pat chicken breasts dry before seasoning for better browning. Let chicken rest after cooking for juiciness and easier chopping. Vegetable variations like zucchini or mushrooms add a twist. Store leftover filling separately to maintain bun texture.
