Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce.
• Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper into strips.
• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later). Season with salt and pepper.
• Halve and toast ciabattas.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, green pepper, and chicken (snip the upper corner of the package and carefully drain liquid before adding chicken to pan). Stir in remaining garlic powder, 2 tsp Italian Seasoning (4 tsp for 4 servings), and salt. (Be sure to measure the Italian Seasoning—we sent more!) Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up meat into pieces, until veggies are softened and lightly browned and chicken is warmed through, 5-7 minutes.
• During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle Parmesan and Monterey Jack over chicken and veggie mixture. Cover pan; cook until cheeses melt, 30-60 seconds.
• Spread creamy garlic sauce over cut sides of toasted ciabattas. Pile chicken and veggie mixture on bottom halves of ciabattas; close sandwiches. Cut sandwiches on a diagonal and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was so much better than I expected and is on my list to get again. I loved the mixture of chicken and green pepper. The ingredients were sufficient to make a very satisfying lunch although I added potato chips and made it an evening meal with a fruit salad for dessert.
I cried soo much cutting the onions and the green pepper's color was so beautiful 🧡. It was honestly very good for a quick lunch as a healthier version of a steak and cheese sandwich. I cut up the ciabatta bread wrong ( too soon) but delicious!!
It was very quick to make but I find there was not enough chicken vs the produce used for the dish. The sauce was very good and easy to make with common ingredients you would likely already have at home.
Really great. We had it for dinner with some leftover veggies I roasted. Good. It didnt look promising at one point, but the pulled together flavor was great. We ate it as open faced sandwiches, I think it would have been a lot of bread per bite as a sandwich.
This was a delicious and easy meal that worked great with a busy schedule; really satisfying after a long day.
I would say that the bread is good but sometimes can taste more fresh - not sure how that can happen with delivery etc but overall so yummy!
Very, very flavorful. Will order again. I like cibatta but it's a little hard and I would think it has lots of calories...would prefer a less calorie, softer piece of bread.
The only thing I would suggest changing is the bread, I used a crusty sub roll and made what I considered the best sandwich possible with these ingredients.
I love this dish and I wish it would appear more on the weekly menus. But to be honest I prefer the full dinner version because it came with fries
The sandwiches I made didn't look like this. Because of my hands, I struggled to break up the chicken. But looks don't matter when you taste sooo yummy.
