Now folks, I LOVE the beef version of this sandwich but sometimes I don't want all the extra calories associated with beef, especially chuck roast which, in my opinion, is the best choice of meat for this sandwich (plus the calories of the uber delicious crusty bread you serve this thing on).

1 packet zesty Italian salad dressing mix (such as Good Seasons or make your own)
1 packet dry onion soup mix (such as Lipton)
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can low sodium chicken broth
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. black pepper
1/2 t. garlic powder
1 (14 oz.) jar pepperoncini pepper rings
1 T. juice from pepper jar
6 crusty hoagie rolls, split
Provolone or mozzarella cheese slices (I used low fat)
Roasted red pepper strips, if desired

Place chicken, Italian dressing mix, dry onion soup mix, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, half of the pepperoncini pepper rings (reserving the other half for topping the sandwiches) and...
