Description
A spicy twist on the classic cheesesteak, this Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak features thinly sliced chicken tossed in tangy buffalo sauce, cooked with onions, and layered with melted provolone in a hoagie roll. Perfectly balanced with a drizzle of blue cheese or ranch dressing.
Ingredients
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, thinly sliced
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp unsalted butter (or 1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp olive oil)
½ medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to spice level)
4 slices provolone cheese (or white American cheese)
2 hoagie rolls (soft interior, crusty top)
Optional: blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter (or butter and oil combo) and sauté the sliced onion for 4–5 minutes until it starts to soften and brown.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper, add it to the pan, and cook for another 4–5 minutes until fully cooked through.
- Pour in the buffalo sauce, tossing everything until the chicken is well coated and the sauce is warmed through.
- Lay 2 slices of provolone inside each hoagie roll, then fill the rolls with the buffalo chicken mixture.
- Wrap each sandwich tightly in foil and bake in the oven for about 5 minutes until the cheese melts and the roll is heated through.
- Unwrap the sandwiches and drizzle with blue cheese or ranch dressing before serving.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
Swap provolone for mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
Serve over greens for a low-carb option.
For added crunch, top with celery or shredded lettuce before serving.
