Ingredients
Scale
For the Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie preferred)
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 4 hoagie rolls or sub buns
- 4 slices provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
For Serving:
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for drizzling
- Optional: sliced green onions
- Optional: shredded lettuce
- Optional: pickled jalapeños
Instructions
- Sauté Onions: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced yellow onions and cook them for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and golden brown.
- Add Chicken & Sauce: Stir in the cooked shredded chicken and buffalo sauce into the skillet with the onions. Continue to cook and stir until the chicken mixture is thoroughly heated through and evenly coated with the sauce.
- Toast the Rolls: Optionally, lightly toast the hoagie rolls either in a skillet or in the oven until they are crisp to add texture and prevent sogginess from the sandwich fillings.
- Assemble: Divide the buffalo chicken mixture evenly among the toasted rolls. Place one slice of provolone cheese (or mozzarella) on top of the chicken in each roll to prepare for melting.
- Melt the Cheese: Cover the skillet with a lid and let the sandwiches sit for about 1 minute on medium heat to melt the cheese. Alternatively, you can place the assembled sandwiches under a broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles slightly.
- Top & Serve: Drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing over the cheesy buffalo sandwiches. Add optional toppings such as sliced green onions, shredded lettuce, or pickled jalapeños according to your preference. Serve the sandwiches hot for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- For a spicier sandwich, increase the amount of buffalo sauce or add jalapeños inside the sandwich.
- Using rotisserie chicken simplifies prep time and adds extra flavor.
- Toasting the rolls prevents them from becoming soggy and adds a pleasant crunch.
- Substitute provolone with mozzarella or even cheddar based on your cheese preference.
- Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out.
