Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup low-sodium mozzarella cheese
• 4 rolls whole grain hoagie rolls
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon basil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips against the grain to ensure tenderness. Set aside.

Step 2

Cut the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and yellow onion into thin slices. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the onions are translucent.

Step 5

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Sprinkle black pepper, oregano, and basil over the mixture. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to incorporate the flavors.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

Step 7

Open the hoagie rolls and place them on a baking sheet. Evenly divide the chicken and vegetable mixture among the rolls, filling each generously.

Step 8

Sprinkle the low-sodium mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the chicken and vegetable mixture in each roll.

Step 9

Bake the assembled sandwiches in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and serve hot.
