INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 🍗 6 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, thinly sliced
    • 🧅 ½ cup sliced onions
    • ½ cup sliced red bell pepper
    • 🍅 ½ cup tomato juice
    • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
    • 🥫 1 cup salsa
    • 🍞 8 (1/2 inch thick) slices French bread
    • 🧀 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

STEPS

1

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, and cook and stir until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

2

Stir in the sliced onions and red peppers, and cook and stir for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

3

Stir in the tomato juice and taco seasoning, and mix well. Cook mixture until the juice has thickened and the chicken is well coated with sauce, about an additional 7 minutes.

4

Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

5

Spread 2 tablespoons of salsa over each slice of French bread. Evenly spoon the chicken mixture on top of the salsa topped bread. Sprinkle each sandwich with 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.

6

Place sandwiches under the preheated broiler and cook for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
