I gotta give props to my cuz Dave on this one. I have been a HUGE fan of bowling ever since I can remember. Dave and I bowled on the same team in our hometown in VA a while back. All bowling alleys as you know must have a snack bar, and this is where Dave introduced me to the Chicken Philly. I never in my life heard of that before as I was a huge fan of the original cheesesteak. So with that in mind, here is my spin on the sandwich: Instead of chopping the chicken, I slice the chicken breast and rub it with my own poultry rub and let it sit overnight in the fridge. You don't have to do this, 15-20 mins will work just fine. Then I dice some bacon and set aside. Next I julienne some fresh green pepper and set that aside as well. I get two bakery fresh sub rolls and split them and set aside, and prep some lettuce and whatever cheese I wanna use (usually pepper jack and monterrey or mozzarella). Now its time to cook. Get a large frying pan and set the heat to medium high. Add your bacon to the pan and cook until crispy, set aside. Next you want to cook the chicken in the bacon grease. Get it browned really nice and turn down the heat to medium. Add about a cup and a half of chicken broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and put the broth or jus in 2 bowls. Drizzle a little oil into the pan and add your green pepper. Sautee for a couple minutes, season with salt and pepper and turn off heat. Now you are ready to build your sandwich. Take some lettuce and place on bottom of the roll. Next place 2 slices of cheese on top of the lettuce, followed by mounds of steaming hot chicken. Add the chopped bacon and green pepper on top of the chicken and drizzle some honey mustard on top! This is a sammie that is sure to set you back in your chair :)
