Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak (Print Version)

A zesty twist combining buffalo-spiced chicken, melted provolone, and sautéed onions in a warm buttery hoagie roll.

# Ingredients:

→ Meat

01 - 1 pound chicken breast

→ Bread

02 - 4 hoagie rolls

→ Dairy

03 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for buttering bread
04 - 4 slices Provolone cheese

→ Seasonings

05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, plus extra for bread
06 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

→ Vegetables

07 - 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
08 - 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños, roughly chopped (optional)

→ Sauces

09 - 3/8 cup Frank's RedHot sauce
10 - Ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving

# Steps:

01 - Place the chicken breast in the freezer for 30-45 minutes to firm up for easier slicing.
02 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Butter the interior of hoagie rolls, sprinkle with garlic powder, and arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer.
03 - Remove chicken from freezer and slice as thinly as possible, then chop into smaller pieces (1/4 to 1/2-inch). Season with garlic powder and salt.
04 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then add onions and jalapeños. Sauté for 7-8 minutes until onions have softened and are slightly translucent. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and set aside.
05 - Bake the prepared hoagie rolls for 5 minutes until lightly toasted.
06 - Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet, increase heat to high, and cook for 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until slightly browned and cooked through.
07 - Reduce heat to medium, add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet and cook until melted. Pour in Frank's RedHot sauce and stir until chicken is thoroughly coated.
08 - Top the chicken with Provolone cheese slices and cook until melted.
09 - Use a spatula to transfer the cheesy chicken mixture to the warmed hoagie rolls. Top with the reserved onion and jalapeño mixture.

# Notes:

01 - Leftovers will keep for up to four days stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
02 - White onion can be substituted for yellow onion.
03 - Banana peppers can be substituted for pickled jalapeños for a milder flavor.
