What’s up guys welcome back now I know it’s the beginning of the year and a lot of us have health aspirations we probably got a ton of chicken breast in the freezer when you get tired of all that meal prep I have the perfect recipe for you to utilize that chicken breast

Today I’m going to show you how to make this delicious chicken Philly cheese steak now I’m not sure if this is exactly how they do it in Philly but I do know my Philly friends in the comments will let me know before we get into the recipe please take a quick

Second to subscribe to the channel make sure you hit that Bell to enable notifications as well alright guys meet me in the kitchen let’s make it happen first things first let’s talk about the protein here we have some chicken breast boneless skinless you do this with

Chicken thighs too if you want but again a lot of us have chicken breast in the freezer that I’m sure just sits in there because you don’t know exactly what you want to do with it today I got you covered we got some white hoagie rolls you can use whatever you like wheat

Spine you can throw this in a low carb wrap for my folks that are trying to stick to the diet we got a little worst word in the world sauce of course the dynamic duo we’ve got Mayo garlic onions and peppers and plenty of provolone cheese all right

Guys so there’s no right or wrong way to do this you want to prep your onions and your bell peppers obviously you want to remove the seeds from the bell pepper chop them down to equal sized pieces that way they cook at the same rate you don’t want to have some big pieces

And some small pieces because they’ll be at different levels of doneness same thing for the onions just chop them down into equal sized pieces as well try to match them up with your peppers the best you can real simple stuff nice rough chop is all you got to do

And they’re going to cook down a bit in the skillet anyway now as always guys if you don’t like bell peppers you can leave them out of the recipe if you want to add some mushrooms to the mix you can definitely do that as well jalapenos really you can customize your

Sandwich however you want that’s the beauty of it be in your kitchen you make the rules alright guys so again today we’re using boneless skinless chicken breast a quick Pro tip is to pop this in the freezer for a little bit so it gets nice and

Firm second Pro tip is to have a nice sharp knife to make easy work of this chicken breast I’m going to make thin slices just like so if you freeze it good enough you use a mandolin if you want just protect your fingers with those I just want to cut these down into

Bite-sized pieces you make them as big or as small as you want to real simple good use of chicken breast so once you have your chicken breast sliced down into bite-sized pieces we’re going to add it to our mixing bowl where we’re going to season it up I guess you

Could do that on the cutting board if you don’t want to make too many dishes but got to have something for my wife to complain about when she gets home right all right my friends now it’s time to bring the flavor we’re going down with some all-purpose seasoning if you don’t

Have mine guys use whatever you got at home whatever your favorite all-purpose seasoning is or you can make a quick blend of salt pepper garlic onion powder a little Cayenne if you want a little spice really can season it however you like can’t go wrong a little McCormick’s chicken seasoning

Will work if you got that in the pantry or like I’m doing today a little hot AP and some original AP get in there with your hands and just massage that in make sure that there’s an even application to season in on your chicken you just really can’t go wrong with this

Combination right here all right guys so you can’t have a sandwich without some bread today we’re using a white hoagie roll I like to toast mine that way it holds up to the sandwich you got plenty of peppers and chicken and cheese on there so gotta

Have a little bit of toasted bread use your serrated blade to cut the bread open like so you don’t want to cut it all the way so let your hands do the rest of the work that’ll give a nice little pocket or pouch for your filling to go into we’re

Going to add some butter to this Skillet get some good color on the bread all right so once you have about a tablespoon or so of good quality butter melted in your skillet I’m going to press down make sure that bread is making good surface area contact

The best you can looks like mine’s not going to fit all that great but we’re going to make it work or make it happen I should say just press down you’re gonna allow that to toast get some beautiful color absorb that butter and flavor all right let’s

Take a peek see how we’re looking as you can see we got some good color the bread’s absorb that butter so I’m just going to get this out of there make room for the for the veggies beautifully toasted hoagie roll Now strictly for health purposes we got another tablespoon of butter in there gonna add a little avocado oil as well about a teaspoon or two then in come the peppers and onions again guys if you don’t like Peppers you can leave them out you can add jalapenos to it you could add mushrooms

Really whatever you like we’re just gonna get in there and toss them around in that butter until they soften up get nice and tender for us add a little garlic to the party because why the hell not can’t go wrong with little garlic and butter always remember to

Season as you go we’re going down with little all-purpose seasoning here and some garlic paste once the veggies get a little head start about four to five minutes should be long enough for these to get nice and tender in Comes The Garlic we’re talking about about a tablespoon or so of that

If you want to make this spicy again guys you can go cayenne pepper red pepper flakes jalapenos Fresno chilies get crazy make it your own after you make it a couple times it’s a perfect time to switch up the ingredients a little bit give it a little additional

Extra or different flavor that’s really the beauty about cooking once you have a couple recipes in your tool belt you start adding different flavor profiles to those recipes that way you don’t get tired of them so once your veggies are cooked down we’re going to go ahead and grab a spoon

Remove the veggies and we’re to cook our chicken all this is done in the same Skillet guys super easy cleanup quick and easy recipe alright guys so the goal here is to get some good color on your thinly sliced chicken so you want our heat on medium high this

Stuff cooks really quickly since it’s so thinly sliced but you don’t want to just dump it in there I mean you could it’s just going to turn kind of like a gray or whitish color I want a nice golden brown on my chicken so it looks visually

Appealing and that crust is going to add some additional flavor and do it in two batches if you have to you just want to get some all right so what I was talking about earlier if you just throw it all in there at once your chicken is going to look like this

Rather than that look at that beautiful crispy golden brown color tons of flavor there nice texture as well that’s what separates a good sandwich from a great sandwich guys a little extra patience all right so once our second batch of chicken is done we’re gonna add the first batch back plus any accumulated

Flavor in there no flavor Left Behind then we’re going to bring in the worst word in the world sauce just to kick up the flavor a little bit more about a tablespoon of that so we’re going in with our veggies then we just mix everything together

I’m going to increase the heat cook off any of that water or steam get that out of there so there’s no liquid at the bottom of your skillet and then we’ll add our cheese and make a sandwich now for good measure and a pop of color we’re going in with a little fresh

Chopped parsley just to liven everything up in there foreign give that a mix man this smells good look at that guys now at this point guys I like to go ahead and separate them start adding our cheese once that cheese melts it’ll be time to eat all right my friends we’re approaching

The Finish Line at this point you can add whatever your mayo or sauce of choice is for me you guys know this is a Duke’s Mayonnaise household and we also like to go both sides of the bun so just spread that on there add as much or as little as you like

Nobody wants a dry sandwich though so for my people out there that don’t like Mayo what exactly are you putting on your sandwiches let me know in the comments whatever it is is not better than Duke’s Mayonnaise but we’ll let you live today there we go once we got that spread on

There nice and even take our spatula and fill this bad boy with as much of this delicious chicken cheesesteak as we can fit Between the Bread look at that I think this is the part where I say brace yourself for a trademark money shot say it with me guys looking good

Man that doesn’t all right guys now it’s time for my favorite part of the job the moment of truth going in for the taste test foreign quick and easy for dinner tonight I’ve got just what you I’ve got just the thing tonight today I’ll be showing you I keep saying

For dinner tonight and then today is throwing me off

  1. Damn! I had 2 chicken breasts a pepper and onion and made fajitas! I wish I would’ve seen this first because I absolutely would’ve loved a cheesesteak 😋

  2. Only Duke mayo in my house. I use the reduced fat/lite mayo. Dukes makes the best. I love Philly sandwiches ❤ yours looks amazing.

  3. It’s pronounced wuss-ter-sheer
    I live not too far from there. It deffo doesn’t sound how it’s spelt.
    That sandwich looks so nice! Haven’t seen one look that good over here in the UK. I will try to make it, thank you

  4. I love it when people get right to the point, and are well organized to execute a plan. You certainly both got right to the point and executed your plan. I hate commentaries please just let’s get on with the recipe. I totally agree with you when you talked about cooking is subjective it is according to each individual taste. So just because Philly cheesesteaks are popular in Philadelphia they don’t on the rights to how to cook a Philly cheesesteak continue to make good food brother I salute you👋👋👋👋

  5. Looks delicious… if you do your own variation of a Philly Cheesesteaks… don’t call it Philly Cheesesteaks… give it it’s own name and just say inspired by Philly. I’m just cover all angles of the hardcore Philadelphians. Gotta love em!

  6. I'm not from Philly ( Southern Gurl…. TX) but I followed your video today, for a Sunday Meal and me and my family approve! Thanks for the video❤👏🏽👍🏽

  7. I freaking love this guy I try everything he makes this is on my menu for dinner tonight 😋 I think my kids will enjoy this❤

  8. Don’t know what is lately, but I’ve been good on green bell peppers. I no longer like the taste I once loved. Making these tonight 😊

  9. I keep making stuff from you and they keep turning out sooo good.
    So, as usual, I'm gonna start with what I had.
    Chicken chunks, (basically chicken cut up already) And I just cut em in the sizes you said.
    Green peppers, dried parsley, pepperjack cheese, and minced garlic in olive oil that I squished out on a cutting board until it looked paste like.

    I seasoned mine with island spice AP, Some lemon seasoning, adobe seasoning. I added no salt.

    I may have added a bit too much seasoning, OR, maybe for my taste buds, some element of sweetness needs to it. But I enjoyed it non the less.
    I could have added more cheese as well. To make it extra goo-ey.

    ALL IN ALL.

    I can't wait to buy your products, and I can't wait to make this again.

    Nuff love from JA.

  10. Why do people, outside of Philly, thinks putting green, red and yellow peppers on a chicken cheesesteak is “the Philly way” NO IT IS NOT! You make it just like a beef cheesesteak. Some places have the chicken in like chunks, where truthfully it should be chopped up real fine. But the peppers thing isn’t Philly! Just like cheese whiz on a cheesesteak is only a South Philly/Northest Philly thing

  11. Key to a good chicken cheestseak is 1-the roll…everyone has their preference…I like Liscio's seeded rolls. 2-finely chopped chicken that's well seasoned. 3-caramelized onions. 4-I add roasted garlic and roasted red pepper to the meat but that's optional. 5-Use only American cheese or Cooper Sharp. Optional pepperjack. 6-After toasting the bread I use a little ranch dressing/mayo combo but this is optional.

  12. When I'm making a sandwich with beef I like to use a drizzle of Melinda's black truffle on the bread.

  13. Since you asked what do we like over mayo, I like & use sour cream. Delicious looking sandwich, by the way. Thank you for sharing.
