Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetables
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
Additional Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional, for drizzling)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken with the Buffalo sauce, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Let it 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, sautéing them for 4-5 minutes until they soften and start to caramelize. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the marinated chicken slices evenly in the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and slightly crispy on the edges. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Cheesesteaks: Preheat your oven to broil. Slice the hoagie rolls open and arrange them on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute 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 slightly golden.
- Serve: Drizzle extra Buffalo sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing over the top if desired. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately for a delicious, spicy cheesesteak experience.
Notes
- For extra heat, add more Buffalo sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- Use blue cheese dressing for a classic Buffalo chicken flavor, or ranch for a milder, creamy contrast.
- Thinly slicing the chicken ensures it cooks quickly and stays tender.
- Broiling the cheese melts it quickly—watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Can be served with celery sticks or a side salad for a balanced meal.
