Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced or shaved
- 4 slices provolone cheese or mozzarella
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ½ yellow onion, thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Sauces and Bread:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce
- 4 hoagie rolls or sub buns
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- Butter
Instructions
- Slice 1 lb chicken breasts thinly, julienne 1 bell pepper, and halve ½ yellow onion. Preheat skillet to medium-high heat.
- Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into pan. Sauté peppers and onions for 4-5 minutes until edges caramelize and vegetables soften.
- Transfer sautéed vegetables to a separate plate. Add chicken to hot skillet, sprinkling ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- Cook chicken for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains and meat reaches 165°F internal temperature.
- Lower skillet heat to medium-low. Return vegetables to pan with chicken. Pour ¼ cup buffalo sauce over mixture, stirring to coat completely.
- Let chicken simmer in sauce for 2-3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld together.
- Spread butter inside 4 hoagie rolls. Toast rolls at 350°F for 5-6 minutes until edges turn golden brown.
- Divide chicken mixture among toasted rolls. Layer 1 slice provolone cheese atop each sandwich.
- Broil sandwiches for 1-2 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles slightly.
- Optional: Drizzle 2 tablespoons ranch dressing over sandwiches before serving hot.
Notes
- Choose chicken breast for the leanest option, or swap with thighs for more flavor and tenderness.
- Keep the heat moderate when cooking chicken to prevent drying out and maintain juicy meat.
- For a lower-carb version, serve the buffalo chicken mixture over lettuce or in a wrap instead of hoagie rolls.
- Prep all ingredients beforehand to make the cooking process smooth and prevent burning or overcooking.
