TO MAKE THE GARLIC AIOLI:
- 3/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 4 Garlic Cloves, minced & smashed
- 2 tbsp. Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 1/2 tsp. White Pepper, optional
FOR THE CHEESESTEAKS:
- 1.25 lbs. Chicken Breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, sliced
- 2 Red Bell Peppers, sliced
- 1/2 Sweet Yellow Onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1.5 tbsp. Blackening Seasoning
- 8 slices Cooper Sharp Cheese
- 4 Hoagie Rolls, cut in half and toasted
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Place the chicken in the freezer for 20-30 minutes beforehand.
- Mix all ingredients for the garlic aioli in a medium-sized bowl. Cover, and set in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the sandwiches.
- Slice the semi-frozen chicken as thin as possible. Also slice the bell peppers and yellow onion. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the bell peppers and onion until slightly softened with olive oil. Then add the chicken along with the blackening seasoning and continue to sauté until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Smear the inside of each hoagie roll with desired amount of garlic aioli. Top each hoagie roll with two slices of cheese and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes at 400F, or until the cheese has melted and the rolls are slightly toasty.
- Fill each hoagie roll with desired amount of chicken cheesesteak filling. Serve immediately with pepperoncini and dill pickles (optional but recommended).
