When the Jimmy John’s craving hits, it hits hard.
There’s something about their warm, cheesy Chicken Philly that just hits the spot—juicy chicken, melty cheese, and those soft, toasty rolls. But when you’re not near a location (or just want to save a few bucks), this easy copycat recipe brings that same flavor home. It’s quick, satisfying, and totally customizable with your favorite toppings.
Tips:
- Use rotisserie chicken for a shortcut.
- Want extra flavor? Splash a little Worcestershire sauce into the pan with the chicken.
- Add jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Wrap it in foil and warm it in the oven for that warm, melty, sub-shop feel.

- 1 small green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 small red bell pepper thinly sliced

- 4 slices provolone or white American cheese

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
