Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
Vegetables
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
Other Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional, for drizzling)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken with the Buffalo sauce, making sure each piece is well coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Cook the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and green bell pepper, cooking them for 4-5 minutes until they become softened and slightly caramelized. Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the marinated chicken slices in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked through and edges are slightly crispy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Cheesesteaks: Preheat the oven to the broil setting. Slice open the hoagie rolls and lay them on a baking sheet. Evenly divide the cooked chicken among the rolls, then top with the sautéed onions and green peppers.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and vegetables. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
- Serve: Drizzle additional Buffalo sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing over the top if desired. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve the cheesesteaks hot for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- For extra spice, add more Buffalo sauce to the chicken or as a drizzle before serving.
- Use gluten-free hoagie rolls if you need to make this recipe gluten-free.
- If you prefer a sharper cheese flavor, substitute mozzarella with provolone or cheddar.
- Leftover chicken mixture can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated before assembling.
- Broiling time can vary based on your oven; watch carefully to avoid burning the cheese.
