Growing up outside Philadelphia, the chicken cheesesteak was a staple of my childhood. When I moved to Texas and couldn't find one, I knew I had to recreate it myself. This recipe is easy, healthy, and hits all the cravings for this delicious, nostalgic food! If you're avoiding the bread part of this, serve over rice or salad, or just eat the hot melty meat and cheese alone. We'll never judge.
