For the Smoked Chicken:
- If you are smoking your chicken, follow the steps of How to Brine and Smoke a Whole Chicken.
- For this whole chicken, after brining, we coated the outside of the chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/4 cup of Mediterranean Seasonings, under the skin, on the outside and in the cavity and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
- We smoked the chicken for about 1 1/2 hours over indirect heat at about 300°.
- You can also use a chicken from your grocer’s deli or oven roasted chicken breasts.
We used one breast for four sandwiches, we used the remainder of the chicken for Easy Chicken Noodle Soup.
How to Make Philly Chicken Sandwiches:
- Carve the chicken breasts and slice them thin.
- Sauté one large sliced onion and 1 cup bell peppers in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toast 4 buttered Philly cheesesteak buns.
- Top bottom buns with sliced chicken, top with sautéed peppers and onions.
- Sprinkle the top buns with shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle cheese with Mediterranean seasoning.
- Place under the broiler until cheese is melted and starts to bubble. Place melted cheese buns over chicken, peppers and onions. Serve immediately.
This is one of the best sandwiches that I’ve ever made. It’s a new family favorite and will be on the regular dinner rotation.
We love to brine and smoke whole chickens over the weekend. There’s so many quick and easy recipes we can make throughout the week with this kind of meal prep.
There’s so much flavor in a smoked chicken and you can season them any way you like. I may never roast another chicken in the oven again.
More Sandwiches to Try:
- Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches are quick and easy for a family friendly weeknight dinner. Crispy breaded chicken cutlets topped with marinara and mozzarella.
- Roast Beef Sandwiches are always a hit. This is another one of our meal prep recipes that we love from weekend grilling. These sandwiches are topped with creamy horseradish sauce and crispy onion strings.
- Steak Sandwiches are served on toasted French bread with lettuce, red onion and tons of grated Parmesan. An easy way to stretch your steak and feed the whole family.
- A simple Smoked Turkey Sandwich is always a favorite, especially with your Thanksgiving leftovers.
- BBQ Mustard Chicken Tender Sandwiches are so flavorful and just downright delicious. These are served on a garlic toasted English muffin and are a real crowd pleaser.
