Ingredient Notes
- Chicken — Thinly sliced boneless, skinless chicken cutlets or tenderloins work best because they cook quickly and mimic the texture of a traditional Philly. If you only have thicker breasts, butterfly and slice them thinly.
- Cheese — Provolone is classic for Philly sandwiches thanks to its mild flavor and excellent melting quality. Mozzarella can be used as an alternative.
Recipe Modifications
- Seasoning — The base seasoning is simple, but you can add Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, or a pinch of crushed red pepper for extra depth.
- Sauces — A swipe of mayo, garlic aioli, or a few dashes of hot sauce on the bun adds extra flavor. Serve with mustard or your favorite sandwich sauce on the side.

Sheet Pan Chicken Philly Cheesesteak
Ingredients
- 2 lb thin-sliced chicken breast or chicken tenders, cut into bite-sized strips
- 2 garlic cloves, grated or minced
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 1.5 tsp sea salt
- A few cranks of cracked black pepper
- 2 bell peppers, deseeded and cut into strips
- 1 large red onion, cut into bite-sized wedges
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 4-6 slices provolone cheese
- Fresh hoagie buns, for serving
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350º F.
-
In a large bowl, toss the chicken strips with 1 tablespoon olive oil, grated garlic, 1 teaspoon sea salt, and cracked black pepper. Spread the chicken on one side of a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
In the same bowl, combine the bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, season with 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and pepper to taste, then spread the vegetables on the other side of the baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160º F.
-
Remove the pan from the oven, lay provolone slices over the chicken, then switch the oven to broil. Return the sheet to the oven for 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles—watch closely to avoid burning.
-
Serve the cheesy chicken and veggies on toasted, buttered hoagie buns or your preferred bread or wrap.
Notes
To toast hoagie buns, butter the insides and place them open-side down on a hot skillet or griddle until golden. You can toast them while the sheet pan is in the oven.
