Savory Chicken Cheesesteak Recipe: Mediterranean Twist with Feta & Olives
A unique twist on the classic cheesesteak, combining tender chicken, sautéed bell peppers and onions with tangy feta cheese, briny Kalamata olives, and Mediterranean seasonings, all served in a toasted hoagie roll.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (thinly sliced)
- 1 large onion sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup sliced Kalamata olives
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 hoagie rolls toasted
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add sliced chicken breasts, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, sauté the sliced onions and bell peppers for 6-8 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Set aside.
- Add Feta and Olives: Return the chicken to the pan, and stir in the sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle crumbled feta and sliced Kalamata olives over the mixture, stirring gently.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Toast the hoagie rolls until golden brown. Fill each roll with the chicken mixture, ensuring an even distribution of vegetables, feta, and olives.
- Serve: Plate the sandwiches with a side of chips or a fresh Mediterranean salad. Enjoy the bold flavors of this fusion sandwich!
Notes
You can substitute feta with goat cheese for a creamier texture or use pita bread for a Mediterranean wrap version.
