Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- It’s quick & easy—Even on those weeknights you find yourself tired and uninspired, this recipe is great. It’s simple, hasty, and always serves up a delicious family dinner.
- It’s versatile—You don’t have to stuff this good stuff in a hoagie. You could actually keep it light and fold it up into a low-carb Lavash bread as a wrap! It’s also great over rice or on it’s own.
- It’s nourishing—You get a nice dose of protein and veggies, and if you’re living a low-carb lifestyle, this is great on a low-carb wrap or on it’s own.
Ingredient Notes
- Chicken—Thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken cutlets work best since a traditional chicken Philly sandwich uses finely chopped chicken. The thinner cuts will resemble that. If you can’t purchase already packaged chicken cutlets, you can learn how to make chicken cutlets from chicken breasts here. Chicken tenderloins will also work.
- Provolone—I like using provolone because it has a neutral flavor and it melts really well! But mozzarella totally works, too.
Recipe Modifications
- Seasoning—Things are kept super simple as far as seasoning goes in this recipe, but you can play around. I’ve read that some folks enjoy using homemade Italian seasoning or even adding paprika to the mix.
- Sauces—I love adding a smear of mayo to my bun. You could also add a few splashes of hot sauce if you like it spicy!

Sheet Pan Chicken Philly Cheesesteak
Ingredients
- 2 lb thin-sliced chicken breast or chicken tenders, cut into bite-sized strips, Or regular chicken breasts, butterflied and cut into bite-sized strips.
- 2 garlic cloves, grated or minced
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 1.5 tsp sea salt
- A few cranks of cracked black pepper
- 2 bell peppers, deseeded and cut into strips, We like to use green and red, for extra color
- 1 large red onion, cut into bite-sized wedges
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms , We use baby bella or cremini, but white button mushrooms are fine.
- 4-6 slices of provolone cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- Place the cut up chicken in a large mixing bowl and drizzle it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the two cloves of grated garlic, 1 teaspoon of sea salt and pepper, then toss to evenly coat. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, favoring one side to keep the chicken separate from the vegetables.
- Combine the vegetables in the same mixing bowl you used for the chicken. Drizzle them with the other tablespoon of olive oil, and season them with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and some pepper, to taste. Toss to coat, then dump onto the other side of the baking sheet.
- Place in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken registers an internal temperature of 160º F.
- Remove the pan from the oven and lay 4-6 slices of provolone over the chicken (however many it takes to cover all of the chicken). Set the broiler to high, and pop the baking sheet back into the oven for a minute or two—just until the cheese melts and starts to bubble. Keep a close eye on it so the food doesn't burn!
- Remove from the oven and serve on buttery toasted hoagies or a wrap!
Such an easy and delicious recipe! Sometimes we serve them in wraps and it’s just as good!
This was excellent! I used sweet onion rather than red onion. I used rolls for others, but put mine in a low-carb flatbread vs. a roll and it was great. Hubby added mayo, but I did not. Also, the 2 lbs. of chicken can make 6-8 small sandwiches rather than 4.
