Copycat Penn Station Chicken Teriyaki Sub

The Penn Station Chicken Teriyaki sub is one of my favorite Cincinnati area sandwiches and it is so delicious! It’s tangy and filled with chicken, veggies and – of course – cheese! You’ll love it!

I was pretty loyal to their Philly Cheesesteak Sub – but the Chicken Teriyaki is my friend Kelly’s favorite sandwich and I have to say – it’s rubbed off on me! It’s loaded with veggies and melted Swiss – plus the Teriyaki sauce is so delicious! 

I think a lot of people don’t think to make sandwiches like this at home – but it’s so easy! You’d probably make these ingredients anyway and serve them on rice – so instead of rice – just grab a pack of sub rolls. The key is that you need to broil them to get the cheese melty and bubbly like they do at Penn Station.

And that’s the other thing – the broiler heats up the bread the PERFECT amount!!! It gets the outside crispy but the inside stays soft. 

What’s in Penn Station’s Chicken Teriyaki Sub?

• 2 sub rolls – It’s hard to find something that really matches Penn Station – but there are a lot of options – and broiling the bread makes it delicious no matter your choice
• Olive oil
• 2 chicken breasts
• 1/2 green pepper, sliced
• 1/2 onion, sliced
• 4 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 3-4 slices Swiss cheese
• Teriyaki sauce – My favorite teriyaki sauce for sure is the Soy Vay brand – you can also make your own – but I always have a bottle of Soy Vay in the fridge!

How do you make a Chicken Teriyaki Sub?

1. Preheat oven to broil on low 
2. Saute chicken breasts, peppers onions and mushrooms until vegetables are softened and start to carmelize (3-5 min). 
3. Remove veggies and set aside. Flip chicken and cook until internal temp is 160-165. 
4. Remove chicken from pan and slice to thick slices. 
5. Add chicken and veggies back to pan and add 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce. Stir until sauce is evaporated and all items are heavily coated. 
6. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Open sub roll and lay on parchment
7. Top both sides of sub roll with chicken & veggies – then Swiss Cheese
8. Broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese starts to bubble and brown SLIGHTLY. (This time can vary greatly according to your broiler. Start with broiler on low and watch it closely – you just want the cheese to melt.) 
9. Remove from oven, fold over subs and serve!
