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

Assembly

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 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 strips. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and green bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the chicken: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the sliced chicken and cook over medium-high heat until fully cooked through and lightly browned, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Add Buffalo sauce: Pour 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors.
  5. Combine chicken and vegetables: Return the sautéed onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the Buffalo chicken. Stir gently to combine the mixture evenly.
  6. Melt cheese: Lower the heat to low. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil to allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Prepare the hoagie rolls: Meanwhile, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Optionally, toast the rolls lightly in a separate pan or oven for extra texture.
  8. Assemble the cheesesteaks: Spoon the Buffalo chicken, pepper, and onion mixture generously into each hoagie roll. Drizzle additional Buffalo sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing on top if desired.
  9. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the assembled sandwiches for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the Buffalo sauce before mixing.
  • Substitute mozzarella with provolone or cheddar cheese for different flavor profiles.
  • Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free hoagie rolls or wraps.
  • Use leftover cooked chicken to save time.
  • The sandwich is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispy roll and melty cheese texture.
