Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
Bread:
- 4 hoagie rolls or sub buns
Cheese:
- 4 slices provolone cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce
Toppings and Drizzles:
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing
- Optional: sliced green onions
- Optional: shredded lettuce
- Optional: pickled jalapenos
Instructions
- Warm 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (350°F/175°C). Spread 1 small thinly sliced yellow onion across the pan’s surface.
- Sauté the onions for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until they transform into soft, golden strands.
- Add 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken to the skillet. Pour ¼ cup buffalo sauce over the meat, adjusting for your preferred heat level.
- Stir the chicken and sauce together, heating until the mixture reaches a consistent warm temperature (about 2-3 minutes).
- Prepare 4 hoagie rolls by lightly toasting them in a separate skillet or oven until their edges become crisp and golden.
- Distribute the hot chicken mixture evenly across the toasted rolls, ensuring each sandwich receives an equal portion.
- Layer 1 slice of provolone cheese (about 1 ounce/28 grams) over the chicken on each sandwich.
- Cover the skillet for 1 minute or place sandwiches under the broiler at 500°F (260°C) for 1-2 minutes until cheese melts completely.
- Finish your sandwiches with a generous drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing.
- Garnish with optional toppings like sliced green onions, shredded lettuce, or pickled jalapeños for extra flavor and crunch.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for quick, flavorful meat that shreds easily and saves significant cooking time.
- For lower-carb option, serve buffalo chicken mixture over salad greens instead of in rolls.
- Experiment with different cheese types like pepper jack or blue cheese crumbles to customize flavor profile.
- Cool buffalo sauce before mixing with chicken to prevent overcooking and maintain tender meat texture.
