Chicken cheesesteak with onions & American cheese.

I buy skin-on chicken thighs in bulk, debone, vacuum seal, and freeze. Slice thin. In the pan. Add onions and Montreal seasoning. I used to caramelize my onions separately, but after frequenting dalessandros i cook onions with the meat so they steam instead. Use two spatulae to break up the meat further, add cheese, cover with roll (steams and grills at the same time). This one was a real banger. Oil was not needed due to the chicken skin rendering.

Next i will adapt this recipe to make a banh mi "cheesesteak" to get better permeation of the bbq sauce into the meat - but don't worry i won't add cheese.
