Like the classic, but healthier! I actually have no idea if this is even close to authentic, but it was really good! I had some super thin sliced chicken breast and needed a recipe to use it up so I came up with this one! These would be perfect for a picnic or a summer afternoon. I find myself craving theses sandwiches since I made them. I don’t know if I have ever tried an actual real Philly Cheesesteak! (I am a Midwesterner!)

I served these on @auntmilliesbread low carb buns, which are so good and you’d never know that they are healthier. They pack a ton of fiber, which is why I love them! (17g in one bun!) These sandwiches are super simple, quick to make, and don’t require a ton of ingredients. Plus they are filling and protein packed! Aunt Millie’s are one of my favorite bread products. They have really great low carb options, but I also love that they don’t use high fructose corn syrup. They are also based in my home state of Indiana!

This recipe could be made ahead and kept warm in a crockpot. Perfect for a party! To melt the cheese, you can warm in the oven or just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds. The oven will keep them crispier. If your chicken is hot enough, they might be fine without the extra step.
