Ingredients for Chicken Philly Cheesesteak

The chicken Philly cheesesteak is just like the classic beef Philly cheesesteak. Build your sandwich with any or all of the toppings you enjoy most.

Chicken breast: Instead of using beef, chicken philly cheesesteak uses boneless skinless chicken breast as the protein base of the sandwich. Substitute with boneless skinless chicken thighs for an even juicier, softer meat.
Green bell pepper: Bell peppers are a necessary veggie for both Philly versions. Swap out green peppers with the slightly sweeter yellow or red bell peppers.
Onion: The flavor of caramelized onions is to die for! Use yellow, sweet, or white onions.
Mushroom: Softened, cooked mushrooms provide a mild sweetness combined with an umami taste to your philly sandwich.
Cheese: The traditional Philly cheesesteak cheese of choice is provolone for its neutral flavor and easy melting. Sliced white American cheese and Swiss cheese are great alternatives. Many Philadelphia food trucks swear by using Cheez Whiz, too!
Hoagie: A classic Philly is made with a hoagie roll (long flat roll). However, any white roll or sandwich bread will work. Use what you’ve got!
Seasoning: Add a dash of salt and pepper to add more flavor to the chicken as it’s cooking or to the sandwich at the end.

Level Up Your Chicken Philly Cheesesteak With These Ingredients

There are no hard rules when it comes to building your own chicken philly. Level up your sandwich with our favorite list of customizations.

Veggies: If you like a bit of heat or tang, jalapeños or banana peppers will do the trick. Lettuce is a great option if you’re craving a bit of crunch.
Sauces: Add mayo to your hoagie before broiling it, or hot sauce if you need the heat. Ranch can be used directly on the sandwich or as a dipping sauce, as well.
Seasoning: Italian seasoning, paprika or garlic powder are all solid options if you’re needing something more than salt + pepper.
Protein: Add pieces of cooked crisp bacon to really send your chicken cheesesteak sandwich over the top.

3 Tips to Make Your Chicken Philly Even Better

Make your chicken philly cheesesteak sandwich even better with these three easy tips.

Slice ingredients thinly and evenly: For even cooking, use a Mandolin Slicer to quickly and easily slice the ingredients. Place chicken breasts in the freezer for a bit so they slice really easily with this slicer.
Toast the hoagie: Spread some softened butter and garlic salt on the hoagie and broil for 15 seconds for a crispy, garlic-butter bun. Alternatively, use mayo.
Use a lid for the skillet: After adding cheese slices to the skillet to melt, place a lid on top to trap the heat and help the cheese melt quicker.
