Easy BBQ Chicken Cheesesteak Sandwich
A tasty and quick sandwich that mixes smoky BBQ with melty cheese, perfect for a fast weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose seasoning
- 2 teaspoons barbecue seasoning
- 1/3 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 slices cheddar cheese for melting
- 2 slices pepper jack cheese for a mild kick
- 3 pieces hoagie rolls
Instructions
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces and sprinkle with the all-purpose seasoning and barbecue seasoning. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Add the sliced onion and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables soften.
- Pour in the barbecue sauce and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Add the cheddar and pepper jack cheese. Stir until the cheese melts into the chicken mixture and becomes creamy.
- Spoon the hot chicken filling into the hoagie rolls.
- Serve right away, or wrap the sandwiches in foil for 1 to 2 minutes before serving for a softer, warmer sandwich.
Notes
For variation, try using chicken breast instead of thighs or swapping the BBQ sauce for buffalo sauce for a spicy twist. Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat filling in a skillet over medium heat.
