Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

Cheese and Bread

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls

Optional Toppings

  • 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional, for drizzling)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Thinly slice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized strips ensuring even cooking. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and green bell peppers and sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until it is no longer pink and begins to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add Buffalo Sauce: Pour 1/2 cup of Buffalo sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat evenly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors combine.
  5. Combine Chicken and Vegetables: Return the cooked onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the Buffalo chicken and mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  6. Add Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt completely, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Prepare the Hoagie Rolls: While the cheese is melting, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise and toast them lightly until golden brown.
  8. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon the Buffalo chicken and melted cheese mixture generously into each toasted hoagie roll.
  9. Add Optional Toppings: Drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing over the filling if desired, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness and color.
  10. Serve: Serve immediately while hot with extra Buffalo sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

  • For extra heat, use a spicier Buffalo sauce or add crushed red pepper flakes while cooking chicken.
  • If you prefer, substitute mozzarella with provolone or cheddar cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free hoagie rolls or sandwich buns.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat thoroughly before serving.
  • For a smoky flavor, consider grilling the chicken instead of pan-cooking.
