How to Make Chicken Cheesesteak
Step 1 – Preheat the Blackstone grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).
Step 2 – Spread the melted tablespoon of butter onto the hoagie rolls and place them on the grill for 1 minute to toast the subs slightly. Set them aside.
Step 3 – Add the oil to the middle of the grill. Stir it around with a spatula. Add the ground chicken and onion to the grill. Season it with the kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
Step 4 – Sauté until the chicken is cooked through and onions are soft (6-8 minutes) breaking up the ground chicken as it cookies.
Step 5 – Divide the ground chicken and onions into 4 equal piles on the grill. Immediately top each pile with 2 slices of cheese and let the cheese melt (1-2 minutes) for a delicious cheesy sauce mixture.
Step 6 – Use your spatula to scoop and lift each pile and place the mixture onto one of the toasted hoagie rolls.
Step 7 – Serve this Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich immediately while warm and enjoy!
