Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded or thinly sliced
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup Buffalo sauce, adjust to taste
  • 4 slices provolone or American cheese
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 hoagie rolls or sub buns
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for toasting buns

Optional Ingredients

  • Celery sticks, for garnish
  • Blue cheese dressing, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Start by cooking your chicken breast in a skillet over medium heat until it is fully cooked and juicy. Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks or slice it thinly to imitate traditional cheesesteak style.
  2. Toss with Buffalo Sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with a generous amount of Buffalo sauce. Make sure every piece is evenly coated with the spicy, tangy sauce.
  3. Sauté the Onions: While the chicken marinates, sauté the thinly sliced onions in a bit of oil or butter over medium heat until soft and slightly caramelized, adding a sweet contrast to the spice.
  4. Toast the Buns: Butter the insides of your hoagie rolls and toast them in a pan over medium heat until golden brown and crispy, which adds richness and texture.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: On each toasted bun, layer the Buffalo chicken generously, then top with the sautéed onions. Add slices of provolone or American cheese on top of the warm chicken and onions.
  6. Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled sandwiches under a broiler or cover the skillet with a lid briefly to melt the cheese smoothly over the filling without overcooking.
  7. Serve Immediately: Once the cheese is melted beautifully, serve the Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak hot, optionally garnished with celery sticks and a drizzle of blue cheese dressing.

Notes

  • Use fresh, freshly cooked chicken for best flavor absorption of Buffalo sauce.
  • Don’t skimp on Buffalo sauce to ensure the sandwich bursts with signature flavor.
  • Toast the buns well to add a crispy texture and prevent sogginess.
  • Layer onions under cheese to meld flavors and allow cheese to melt smoothly.
  • Use a skillet lid or broiler to melt cheese perfectly without drying out the chicken.
