How to Make Chicken Cheese Steak Sandwiches:

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the sliced chicken and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Veggies

1. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté the sliced onions and bell peppers over medium heat.
2. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the veggies are soft and caramelized.
3. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the veggies, mixing everything together.

Step 3: Toast the Rolls (Optional)

1. Spread butter on the inside of each sandwich roll.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the rolls, butter-side down, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwiches

1. Divide the chicken and veggie mixture evenly among the sandwich rolls.
2. Top each sandwich with a slice of provolone cheese.
3. Cover the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
