Chicken Philly Sandwiches (+Video)
These Chicken Philly Sandwiches are made with perfectly seasoned diced chicken tenders with melted provolone cheese on a super soft sub roll!
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.)
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.
Scoop up chicken, onion and cheese mixture onto bun. Serve with fries or chips and enjoy.

I doubled the recipe. We have found our new favorite meal – thank you for this!
So very yummy. Loved the seasoning!
My kids LOVED these!
These are delicious!! Thanks for sharing! Definitely don’t skip the mayo 🙂
What a tasty beautiful satisfying sandwich!
We love philly cheesesteaks, and I think this might be a great new treat! Thanks!
LOVE chicken phillies! It's so hard to find one with chicken around here so I love to make them myself. YUM!
Love the sandwich, great idea instead of regular beef Philly….thanks:)
This is a great sandwich, and like you said, you can tailor this recipe to your likes. I would put honey Dijon mustard,lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers-no mayo for me! I don't like it.
Sounds like a perfect weekend – and a great chicken recipe! Thanks!
sounds delicious!
I'm with you — Put everything on it! (My husband's the same.) The sandwick looks great — glad you had a nice unplugged weekend. I was too busy to clean the house, just got the laundry done!
I'm totally doing this for sure! I don't like Philly steak sandwiches, but when I saw chicken…..hello!
I'm so glad your time was peaceful and productive in your heart. That's what matters, right? And I wish I had a funny joke, but I'm fresh out:)
Sounds like such a nice weekend. It's amazing how obsessed we are with technology! I'd love to impose that in our house.
This sandwich looks great! I love trying out new sandwich combinations!
It sounds like you had a wonderful and relaxing weekend too! I also finished reading a smutty paranormal romance by Maryjanice Davidson. Who do you like to read?
The sandwich looks yummy!

These look great, I should really look into making something like this at home since my DH and FIL love their steak sandwiches. A little chicken wouldn't kill them 😉
Your weekend sounds wonderfully relaxing even though you had a lot going on! I think your sandwich looks great. So many ways you can tailor that to individual tastes! We do similar things at our house but instead of using a bun or roll, we use tortillas. We can't get away from mexican inspired food around here for very long. I hope you have a great week! Candace
My hubby would love these, too, but with ketchup instead of mayo. I, on the other hand, would slather mine with mayo and all your suggested toppings…woe, that sounds fabulous!
How nice to take an unplugged weekend 🙂 Its always great to relax with a good book. Your sandwiches look delicious 🙂
Sounds like you had a very productive weekend : ) And I'm ALL ABOUT Trashy Romance Novels!! Oh ya! This sandwich looks great girl! MMmmmmm
We frequent a Philly Cheesesteak joint close to our home. I have tried making them at home but never get the results my guy is looking for. I order a chicken philly sandwich so this would probably be right up my alley. Sounds so delicious! My stomach is growling over this one! Yummy!
LOVE these!!
This sounds like a wonderful chicken sandwich.
These look awesome!
