A DELICIOUS HOMEMADE CHICKEN SANDWICH

This is another one of our favorite suppers. I make these pretty often because they are easy and we can jazz them up anyway we like them. You can make these pretty quickly and I definitely suggest you add anything you like to make them suitable for your family’s taste!

TIPS FOR MAKING CHICKEN PHILLY SANDWICHES:

  • Suggested toppings: Lettuce and tomato
  • Other cheese choices: monterey jack or mozzarella
  • Other ingredients: Bacon,mushrooms, green, red and yellow peppers are all excellent additions to this sandwich
  • This makes two (fairly big) subs. Use smaller rolls, and you’ll probably get about 3-4 sandwiches out of this recipe.
  • Don’t skip on the mayonnaise. Real mayonnaise takes these from good to amazing!
  • Find a really good, soft sub roll. This recipe doesn’t use a lot of ingredients so it’s important you make all the ingredients count. If you can find brioche sub rolls – use those!

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

  • salted butter
  • canola oil
  • fresh chicken tenders
  • lemon pepper seasoning
  • cajun seasoning
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • onion
  • provolone cheese
  • soft sub rolls
  • mayonnaise

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN PHILLY SANDWICHES:

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons oil in a pan (medium high heat.)  

MELTED BUTTER AND OIL IN A LARGE SKILLET OVER MEDIUM HEAT

While waiting for the butter to melt, season chicken with lemon pepper, cajun seasoning, salt and pepper. Make sure all diced chicken pieces get seasoning on them. Once the butter has melted in pan, add chicken and onions. As the chicken cooks, be sure to move it around and maybe break it up a bit if you diced your chicken pieces large.

Cook for about 8 minutes on medium heat. I like to take a piece out and test for seasoning right before putting the cheese on. You may want to add little more salt or pepper at this point. Place cheese slices on top of chicken to melt (use as little or as much as you like.)

Slather mayo on both sides of the soft sub rolls. Don’t skimp on the mayo – it really adds to the flavor of this dish.

    Hi Brandi, These look delicious. I do have a question. Is there something else I could use instead of the Lemon Pepper Seasoning? Not a big fan of lemon flavored chicken. I was thinking maybe a Ranch Seasoning. Thanks for any help you can give me. Have a wonderful and blessed day.
