How To Make Best Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 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)

Directions:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, mix the sliced chicken with the Buffalo sauce until well coated. Let it sit while you prepare other ingredients, or at least for 10 minutes.

   
   

2. Cook the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and green bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and a little caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

   
   

3. Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add the marinated chicken in a flat layer and cook for 5-7 minutes until it is fully cooked and slightly crispy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

   
   

4. Assemble the Cheesesteaks: Preheat the oven to broil. Slice the hoagie rolls open and place them on a baking sheet. Divide the cooked chicken between the rolls. Top with the cooked onion and peppers.

   
   

5. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and veggies. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese melts and bubbles.

   
   

6. Serve: Drizzle more Buffalo sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing on top if desired. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
