Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts

- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions
1. Prep Chicken & Veggies: Thinly slice the chicken breasts and season with the garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce.
2. Heat the Pan: Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the seasoned chicken until cooked through and lightly browned.

Notes
To ensure your Chicken Cheese Steak Sandwiches turn out absolutely mouthwatering, consider these helpful tips:
Selecting the Right Chicken Breasts: Opt for large, thin chicken breasts that will slice easily into tender strips.
Caramelizing Onions: Take the time to sauté the onions until they’re softened and lightly caramelized for maximum flavor.
Achieving the Perfect Cheese Melt: Dividing the mixture into portions helps the cheese melt evenly and coat the chicken and veggies.
Customizing with Additional Toppings: Feel free to get creative and add your favorite extras like sautéed mushrooms, roasted peppers, or a drizzle of garlic aioli.
Storing Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, store the chicken mixture and rolls separately to maintain the perfect texture when reheating.
