Notes
- Thin Slices, Even Cooking _ Cut the chicken breast into thin, even slices. Consistently cooked and tender slices are uniform. Keep mindful of thick slices to avoid uneven cooking.
- Use Quality Ingredients _ keep ingredients like chicken breast and veggies fresh. Take hoagie rolls fresh to increase the quality of the recipe. Make sure to buy fresh rolls or, better yet, bake them fresh.
- Melted Cheese _ Set aside slices of provolone cheese to melt on top of the prepared mixture. The melting cheese adds Richness and binding power.
- Always Toast the Hoagie Rolls _ Remember to toast the hoagie rolls while melting butter in the skillet. This process improves the flavor overall and provides a beautiful crunch.
