What is a Cheesesteak?

Chicken Cheesesteak Sandwiches is a classic recipe that was made famous in Philadelphia. It is traditionally made with thin slices of steak on a flat top grill. The meat is cooked with chopped onions but sliced green bell peppers and mushrooms are commonly added.

Cheese such as Cheez Whiz, Provolone, or White American Cheese is added to the top of the cooked meat and melted for even more flavor. We used ground chicken for our recipe for a delicious variation, so use what you prefer. You can even make in a skillet on the stovetop for an amazing classic Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich Recipe.

• Toppings – Add your favorite toppings for even more flavor. We suggest slice tomato, more onions and chopped lettuce.
• Sub Roll – Having the right hoagie really makes this Cheesesteak even better. We like to use a roll that is big and chewy such as a Kaiser Roll or Italian Hoagie. We like to get them from our local bakery.

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!

Recipe Tips

• Prepare Blackstone Griddle – Before cooking the ground chicken and veggies, make sure to preheat the griddle to medium heat or medium high heat and add oil. This helps to cook the chicken quick and easy with the best flavor and texture.
• Hoagies – For the full Philly Cheesesteak experience we recommend toasting the bun. Each bite is full of crispy bread, cheesy chicken and tons of flavor.
• Serving Size – This recipe is written to serve 4. But we like to double the recipe since I have a large family and the chicken is great leftover. Make sure to evenly divide the chicken mixture on the griddle for each serving and to melt the cheese.
