Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 packet (3 tablespoons) fajita seasoning
  • 4 large hoagie rolls
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Slice and Season

    Start by slicing your chicken breasts into thin, bite-sized strips. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with half of the fajita seasoning and one tablespoon of olive oil. Ensure every piece is evenly coated for maximum flavor.

  2. Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have slight charred edges. Remove them from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

  3. Step 3: Cook the Chicken

    In the same skillet, add the seasoned chicken strips. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Stir the cooked vegetables back into the skillet with the chicken, sprinkle with the remaining fajita seasoning, and squeeze the fresh lime juice over the mixture. Toss to combine.

  4. Step 4: Toast the Hoagie Rolls

    Slice your hoagie rolls open lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Place them on a baking sheet and toast under a broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges are golden brown. This helps prevent the bread from getting soggy.

  5. Step 5: Assemble and Melt

    Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly among the four toasted rolls. Top each sandwich with a generous portion of shredded cheese. Return the hoagies to the broiler for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve immediately.
