Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
Vegetables
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
Additional Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional, for drizzling)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken with the Buffalo sauce, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors while preparing other ingredients.
- Cook the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and green bell pepper, cooking for 4-5 minutes until they are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Lay the marinated chicken slices in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and slightly crispy around the edges. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Cheesesteaks: Preheat your oven’s broiler. Slice each hoagie roll open and place them on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken among the rolls, then top with the sautéed onions and bell peppers.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken and vegetables in each roll. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly and lightly golden.
- Serve: Remove the cheesesteaks from the oven and drizzle with extra Buffalo sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For spicier sandwiches, add more Buffalo sauce or use a hotter wing sauce variant.
- To save time, pre-sliced chicken breasts can be used, but ensure they are thinly sliced for best texture.
- If you prefer, substitute hoagie rolls with sub rolls or baguettes.
- Blue cheese dressing pairs traditionally with Buffalo flavor but ranch works well too for a milder taste.
- Cooking times may vary based on stovetop and broiler heat; watch carefully to avoid burning cheese.
