Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 hoagie rolls or sub buns
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
Toppings (Optional)
- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the vegetables.
- Sauté onions and peppers: Add the thinly sliced onion and green bell pepper (if using) to the skillet. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized, developing sweetness and flavor.
- Add chicken and seasonings: Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is heated through and well combined.
- Preheat broiler: Set your oven broiler or toaster oven to preheat while preparing the sandwiches.
- Assemble sandwiches: Open the hoagie rolls and place them on a baking sheet. Fill each roll evenly with the buffalo chicken mixture.
- Add cheese topping: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese generously over the stuffed rolls.
- Broil sandwiches: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2 to 4 minutes, watching carefully to melt the cheese until bubbly and slightly golden.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally drizzle the sandwiches with ranch or blue cheese dressing and garnish with chopped green onions or parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier sandwich, add more buffalo sauce or include sliced jalapeños.
- If you prefer, substitute cooked shredded chicken with rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Make sure to watch the cheese closely while broiling to prevent burning.
- These sandwiches can be prepared ahead and heated under the broiler just before serving.
- Omitting bell peppers makes this recipe suitable for those who prefer milder flavors or are allergic.
