Ingredients

Units 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

Other 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

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken with the Buffalo sauce, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients to enhance flavor.
  2. Cook the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and green bell pepper and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the marinated chicken evenly in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Assemble the Cheesesteaks: Preheat the oven to broil. Slice the hoagie rolls open and arrange them on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken among the rolls, then top with the sautéed onions and peppers.
  5. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly and lightly browned.
  6. Serve: Drizzle extra Buffalo sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing over the assembled sandwiches if desired. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot for the best flavor and enjoyment.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken for longer (up to 30 minutes) intensifies the Buffalo flavor.
  • Use freshly shredded mozzarella for better melting and taste compared to pre-shredded cheese.
  • Keep a close eye on the sandwiches while broiling to prevent burning the cheese.
  • To make this recipe gluten free, substitute hoagie rolls with gluten-free bread or buns.
  • For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to the chicken marinade.
