Start by slicing the chicken breast thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced chicken to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 6-8 minutes until the chicken is well-cooked and browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the sliced bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms for 4-5 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and continue to cook for 2 minutes to combine flavors.
Preheat your oven's broiler on the low setting.
Slice the whole grain hoagie rolls nearly all the way through and place them open-faced on a baking sheet.
Evenly distribute the chicken and vegetable mixture among the four hoagie rolls, placing it inside the crevice of each roll.
Top each hoagie with a slice of provolone cheese.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Serve hot and enjoy your high protein chicken Philly cheesesteak!
