Whole grain rolls offer more fiber.

Thinly slice the chicken breast against the grain for tenderness.

Optional: Chill the chicken breasts in the freezer for about 10 minutes to make slicing easier.

Slice up green bell peppers and onions.

Prepare three hoagie rolls and chopped chicken breasts for three medium-sized subs.

Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon of Creole seasoning, 1 teaspoon of lemon pepper, half a teaspoon of Montreal chicken seasoning, and salt to taste.

Add a little olive oil to the chicken to prevent dryness and mix well to combine.

Heat olive oil and butter in a medium skillet; the olive oil helps prevent the butter from burning.

Add the chicken to the skillet and let it sit for about 1.5 minutes to brown before turning it.

Cook the chicken for about 4 minutes total, ensuring not to overcook it to avoid dryness.

Remove the chicken from the skillet, leaving the grease for flavor.

Add sliced peppers and onions to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes, seasoning with a pinch of salt.

Slice open the hoagie rolls using a serrated knife.

Toast the hoagie rolls in a skillet or air fryer on broil for best results.

Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet with the vegetables and mix well, retaining all the juices.

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Add about 1 tablespoon of water to the skillet to create steam for melting the cheese.

Add a little mayo to the hoagie rolls before filling them.

Fill the toasted hoagie rolls with the chicken, peppers, and cheese, being generous with the portions.
