Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 white onion
- 2 bell peppers
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. chicken tenders
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 8 slices white American cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls
Instructions
- Preheat broiler to high heat.
- Thinly slice onion and bell peppers. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add sliced onion and peppers. Season with salt and pepper and cover. Cook for 9-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice chicken tenders as thin as you can.
- Heat butter in another large nonstick skillet and add chicken to the skillet. Season with salt and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip chicken and cook another 2-3 minutes, until cooked through. Pour in buffalo sauce and cook another minute or two, until the buffalo sauce has thickened.
- Layer buffalo chicken onto a hoagie roll and top with onion and pepper mixture. Place sliced white American cheese over veggies and broil until cheese is melty, about a minute or two. Watch closely so they don’t burn!
Notes
- Storage: Store leftover sandwich components in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat chicken and pepper mixture in a microwave or hot skillet until heated through.
- Ingredient notes: 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, the cooking time will need to be adjusted. 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.
- Prep ahead: You could make the chicken and peppers and onion and then all you would need to do is assemble the sandwich and cook!
- Serve with: Veggies and dip, fresh fruit, potato chips.
