Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Philly Cheesesteak
  1. Begin by preparing the chicken for your Chicken Philly Cheesesteak. Butterfly or pound the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to ensure even cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic salt, and onion powder. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with this flavorful mixture.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Utilizing the same skillet, add sliced green and red bell peppers along with sliced onion. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Once the vegetables are ready, chop the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet. Add the creamy queso blanco dip.
  6. Take your hoagie buns and carefully open them, creating a pocket for the filling. Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture into each bun.
  7. Preheat your oven to 250°F. Arrange the filled hoagie buns on a baking sheet and place them in the oven for about 5 minutes.
