This is a delicious, hearty version of Philadelphia's favorite street food but with a twist: we use lean chicken breast instead of fatty beef. We also developed them with low-fat American cheese, but any low-fat cheese can be used. These sandwiches come together in half an hour and you need just one skillet to make them. First sauté some thinly sliced onions, then add the chicken, red peppers, salt, and black pepper and heat 'em up together until the chicken is cooked through. Arrange the cheese in a hot dog bun, spoon the chicken mixture inside, and your sandwiches are ready to go. They're so full of flavor, you won't even miss the steak.
