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
Cheese and Bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls
Optional Toppings
- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (for drizzling)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken with the Buffalo sauce, coating the chicken pieces well. Let it marinate while you prepare the other ingredients, or for at least 10 minutes to enhance flavor.
- Cook the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and green bell pepper. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables soften and develop slight caramelization. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the marinated chicken slices in a single layer and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until fully cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Cheesesteaks: Preheat your oven’s broiler. Slice the hoagie rolls open and place them on a baking sheet. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly among the rolls, then top with the cooked onions and peppers.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and vegetables. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
- Serve: Drizzle extra Buffalo sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing on top if desired. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve the Buffalo chicken cheesesteaks hot for maximum flavor and enjoyment.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken as long as possible (up to 1 hour) for deeper flavor.

- Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce according to your preferred spice level.
- For extra crispiness, sear the chicken over high heat before finishing in the skillet.
- Leftover chicken can be used in wraps or salads.
