This buffalo chicken cheesesteak recipe is easy to make, delicious, and packed with flavor. With a mouthwatering combination (similar to my buffalo chicken quesadillas) of tender sliced chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, gooey cheese, and spicy buffalo sauce, each bite is SO GOOD! I know buffalo chicken wings don’t have the reputation of being a “healthy” food, but this sandwich contains protein, produce, carbs, and flavor (with just the right amount of heat) – which is what I look for in a balanced and nutritious meal. Serve with extra veggies on the side (like raw veggies and veggie dip or my popular napa cabbage slaw) to add in even more nutrients. Or serve with chili dip for delicious game day eats.
If you prefer to make the chicken in the crock pot, follow the instructions in my slow cooker buffalo chicken and then use lightly drained shredded chicken in place of the sliced chicken.

What You’ll Love About this Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak Recipe
- Delicious flavors
- Spicy and cheesy
- Filling and nutritious
- Easy to make
- Made with simple ingredients
Ingredients
- Onion – I’ve used a white onion here and that works well, but you could also use a yellow onion or even a red onion.
- Bell peppers – You can use any bell peppers – red pepper, yellow pepper, orange pepper, or green pepper. I like a mix of green and then one of the other, sweeter varieties.
- Olive oil – Use high quality cooking oil.
- Chicken – I recommend using chicken breast tenders as they are easier to slice, but you could also use regular chicken breasts, or chicken thighs if you prefer, but the cooking time will need to be adjusted.
- Butter – Use high quality butter for best flavor.
- Buffalo sauce – Use your favorite buffalo wing sauce. I love Anchor buffalo chicken sauce!
- Cheese – I recommend using white American cheese slices for best flavor and texture (it’s what is typically used in a classic Philly cheesesteak and also what my Philly born brother-in-law and sandwich expert would use. :)). Provolone cheese, mozzarella cheese, or cheddar cheese would also work.
- Hoagie rolls – I like hoagie rolls, but any sort of soft, sandwich roll or brioche buns would work here.
- Extras – These are purely optional and the sandwich is delicious without it, but if you want to add some extra flavor try blue cheese crumbles, blue cheese dressing, and sliced green onions.

How to Feed this Chicken Cheesesteak Recipe to the Whole Family
I get it, feeding kids can be tough! But following the Division of Responsibility and knowing your job and your child’s job makes it SO much more enjoyable. You’ll be able to feed your kids any meal, which will help ensure that they are eating a variety of nutritious foods – with plenty of play food sprinkled in.
I would recommend serving this entire meal family style and letting everyone build their own sandwich. Typically with sandwich recipes like this one, I’ll put out all of the components, but the kids will have a deconstructed version that includes some of the ingredients and definitely the bread. 🙂 Serve the meal with a few items you know your kids will eat, like fruit, milk, and/or bread and butter if they don’t like the buns.
