Ingredients

4 hoagie rolls or bread loaves
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)
1 cup onion, diced
1 cup provolone or mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced peppers and onions, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and sauté until they’re softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Combine the Filling: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the sautéed vegetables and half of the cheese. Toss until everything is well combined.
Prepare the Bread: Cut the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the bread from the center to create a boat shape.
Fill the Boats: Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into each bread boat. Top with the remaining cheese.
Bake: Place the filled bread boats on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden.
Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot!
