Ingredients:

Serving

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into chunks
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp red pepper flakes
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 cup diced zucchini
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup prepared pesto sauce
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
4 italian-style hoagie buns , split lengthwise and toasted
1 cup crumbled feta cheese, divided
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil, divided

Directions:

Combine chicken, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat.
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until chicken begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add yellow bell pepper, onion, zucchini, and balsamic vinegar and cook until onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir mushrooms and 1 tablespoon basil into chicken mixture and cook until mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes. Add mozzarella cheese and pesto sauce; toss to coat. Stir in cherry tomatoes and cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
Spoon chicken mixture into toasted buns and top each sandwich with 1/4 cup feta cheese and 1 1/2 teaspoons basil.
