I love a good cheesesteak sandwich! It’s probably my favorite sandwich. I thought I would lighten it up by using chicken instead of beef.
There used to be this bar/restaurant by my house and every time I went I would get the cheesesteak sandwich.
Then, one day…they didn’t have it. I was so sad! But what they did have was a chicken cheesesteak sandwich.
I was so bummed they didn’t have my sandwich anymore, I almost refused to try the chicken cheesesteak sandwich. But I gave it a try and I loved it!
Can you believe that this sandwich is only 6 points for blue and purple, 9 points for green? It’s filling and delicious!

You can make the chicken in the slow cooker or the Instant Pot. Whichever you prefer.
I bought Pepperidge Farm top sliced hot dog buns. They are 4 points each. If you can’t find those exact buns make sure it doesn’t change the points.
For the cheese I used Sargento ultra thin provolone cheese. I only used 1 slice for each sandwich. To make sure the cheese covered the sandwich I tore the slice in half and spread it across the sandwich.
It was the perfect amount of cheese without adding a ton of points.
I did not cook the green pepper and onions in the Instant Pot. I like them to be slightly crunchy still so I cook them on the stovetop while the chicken is cooking.
To melt the cheese I put the sandwiches under the broiler. This helped get the bread a little toasted too.
