A spicy twist on a classic sandwich combining Buffalo chicken with the cheesy goodness of a traditional cheesesteak.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter + more for buttering the bread
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder + more for bread
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 yellow onion, sliced (can substitute white onion)
  • 1/2 sliced pickled jalapenos, roughly chopped (optional, can substitute banana peppers)
  • 3/8 cup Frank’s RedHot
  • 4 slices Provolone cheese
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken skillet in the freezer for 30-45 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spread butter on the interior of the hoagie rolls and sprinkle with garlic powder. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer and set aside.
  3. Remove the chicken from the freezer, slice it as thinly as possible, then chop it into smaller pieces, about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch. Toss the chicken with the garlic powder and salt and set aside.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt two tablespoons of butter then add the onions and jalapenos and sauté for 7-8 minutes until the onions have softened and are slightly translucent. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and set aside.
  5. Bake the hoagie rolls for five minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, add the chicken to the hot skillet, increase heat to high, and cook for 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until slightly browned and cooked through.
  7. Reduce heat to medium, add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet, and cook until melted. Add the Frank’s RedHot and stir until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
  8. Top the chicken with the Provolone cheese slices and cook until melted.
  9. Use a spatula to transfer the chicken mixture to the warmed hoagie rolls. Top with the onion/jalapeno mixture and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add more jalapenos or hot sauce.
  • Can substitute provolone with cheddar or pepper jack cheese.
  • Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side.
