Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced

Sauce and Cheese

  • 3/4 cup Buffalo sauce (homemade or good-quality store-bought)
  • 6 slices provolone cheese

Vegetables

  • 1 medium bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped celery

Bread and Fats

  • 4 soft hoagie rolls
  • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil (for sautéing)

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Slice the chicken breast thinly for quick cooking. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavor.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onions and cook until soft and slightly caramelized to add sweetness balancing the spicy sauce.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken slices to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook until no longer pink, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking and flavor absorption.
  4. Toss with Buffalo Sauce: Pour in the Buffalo sauce and stir well to evenly coat every piece of chicken. Let simmer for 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Lower the heat and layer provolone cheese slices over the chicken mixture. Cover the skillet briefly to allow the cheese to melt into gooey perfection.
  6. Assemble the Sandwiches: Lightly toast the hoagie rolls until soft with a slight crunch. Generously fill each roll with the cheesy Buffalo chicken and sautéed veggies, adding optional celery for crunch if desired.

Notes

  • Slice chicken thinly for faster cooking and better sauce absorption.
  • Don’t skip caramelizing the onions and peppers for natural sweetness to balance the heat.
  • Use homemade or high-quality Buffalo sauce for best flavor.
  • Cover the skillet during cheese melting to trap steam and melt evenly.
  • Lightly toast rolls to maintain a sturdy yet soft texture.
  • Leftover filling can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen for 2 months.
  • Reheat gently and add fresh cheese for best texture when serving leftovers.
