Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
Sauces and Toppings
- 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
Bread
- 4 hoagie rolls or sub buns
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring often, until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned.
- Sauté Vegetables and Combine: Add the sliced green bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the buffalo wing sauce and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Prepare the Sandwiches: Preheat your oven’s broiler. Slice the hoagie rolls open and lay them on a baking sheet with the cut sides up. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture onto the bottom halves of the rolls. Drizzle each with ranch or blue cheese dressing, then top with a slice of provolone or mozzarella cheese.
- Broil to Finish: Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven, place the top halves of the rolls on the sandwiches, and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the buffalo chicken mixture.
- To save time, use shredded rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken from scratch.
- Substitute the cheese with your preferred type if desired, such as cheddar or pepper jack for added flavor.
