Chicken cheesesteaks

We made these delicious chicken cheesesteak sandwiches from Confections of a Foodie Bride blog, who was inspired by the popular restaurant Texadelphia in well, Texas.  Say howdy to grilled chicken, onions, peppers, and a fantastic mustard sauce- yum!

 CHICKEN CHEESESTEAKS

 Yield: 4-6 sandwiches

Ingredients

 

        For the sandwiches:
        1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, partially frozen (easier to slice)
        2 Tbsp olive oil
        Worcestershire sauce
        Salt & Pepper
        1 medium white or yellow onion, thinly sliced
        1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
        1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
        4-6 slices of your favorite cheese
        4-6 hoagie rolls, split
        For the mustard spread:
        1/4 cup light mayo
        3 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
        2 tsp teriyaki sauce
        1 tsp honey, plus more to taste

 Instructions

 

1. To make the mustard spread, whisk all ingredients together and refrigerate in a covered jar.  Any remaining sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

2. If the chicken is completely thawed, place it on a plastic-wrapped plate and put it back in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. The chicken needs to be slightly frozen so it's easier to slice thinly. 

3. Use a very sharp knife to thinly slice the chicken.  Season the chicken with a couple dashes of Worcestershire, salt and pepper.

4. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat.  Add the peppers and onions, toss to coat with oil, and cook covered for 10-15 minutes, until softened, stirring every few minutes. If necessary, add a couple Tbsp of water to prevent sticking.  Transfer peppers to a bowl and set aside.

5. Heat remaining olive oil over medium high heat and add the chicken, stirring frequently until cooked through and lightly browned.  Drain fat and reduce heat to medium.  Add peppers back to the pan, tossing to reheat.


6. Spread mustard on split hoagie rolls and add chicken and peppers.  Top each with a slice of cheese and serve hot. (Pop the sandwiches under the broiler, if necessary, to reheat and melt the cheese).
