03 - 1/2 tsp salt
04 - 1/4 tsp black pepper

→ Optional
12 - 2 tbsp mayonnaise
13 - 1 tbsp butter for toasting rolls
# How-To Steps:
01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, add onions and bell peppers. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
03 - Return the chicken to the skillet and toss with the vegetables. Lay the provolone slices over the mixture, cover, and let cheese melt for 1-2 minutes.
04 - Spread mayonnaise on the inside of each roll if desired. Melt butter in a clean skillet and toast the split rolls, cut side down, until golden.
05 - Divide the chicken-cheese mixture among the rolls. Serve hot.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The chicken stays juicy while getting those gorgeous browned edges that add texture in every bite
- Melting the cheese right over the meat and vegetables means every mouthful is perfectly cohesive
02 -
- Thinly slicing your chicken against the grain is the difference between tender strips and chewy disappointment
- Don't rush the vegetables, they need time to soften and develop that natural sweetness
03 -
- Pre-slice your cheese if it comes in a block, it melts more evenly over the hot mixture
- Let your skillet get properly hot before adding ingredients, those browned bits are pure flavor
