Instructions
- Warm a skillet with olive oil over medium heat to create a sizzling cooking surface.

Notes
- Slice chicken against the grain for tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture that ensures every bite is perfectly soft.
- Use high-heat cooking method to develop deep caramelization on chicken and vegetables, creating rich flavor complexity.
- Choose provolone or white American cheese for authentic Philly-style melting quality that coats ingredients smoothly.
