Chicken Buffalo Cheesesteak (Print)

A spicy combo featuring buffalo-flavored chicken, gooey provolone, and cooked onions tucked in a soft buttery hoagie.

# Ingredients:

→ Meat

01 - 1 pound chicken breast

→ Bread

02 - 4 hoagie buns

→ Dairy

03 - 3 tablespoons plain butter, with extra for spreading on bread
04 - 4 slices Provolone cheese

→ Seasonings

05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic dust, with more for the bread
06 - 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

→ Vegetables

07 - 1/2 yellow onion, cut into strips
08 - 1/2 cup tangy jalapeños, chopped coarsely (if you want)

→ Sauces

09 - 3/8 cup Frank's RedHot sauce
10 - Ranch or blue cheese sauce on the side

# Steps:

01 - Stick your chicken in the freezer for about 30-45 minutes so it gets firm and you can cut it easier.
02 - Turn your oven to 400°F (200°C). Smear butter inside the hoagie buns, dust with garlic powder, and lay them out on a baking tray.
03 - Take your partly frozen chicken and slice it super thin, then chop into tiny bits (1/4 to 1/2-inch). Shake on the garlic powder and salt.
04 - Put a big pan on medium-high fire. Drop in 2 tablespoons butter, then throw in onions and jalapeños. Cook for about 7-8 minutes till onions go soft and see-through. Scoop them into a bowl, cover it, and set aside.
05 - Pop your buttered buns in the hot oven for 5 minutes till they're just a bit crispy.
06 - Toss your seasoned chicken into the hot pan, crank up the heat, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring now and then, till it browns a bit and cooks through.
07 - Turn down to medium heat, drop in another spoon of butter and let it melt. Pour the Frank's RedHot all over and mix till every bit of chicken gets coated.
08 - Lay the Provolone slices on top of your chicken and wait till they get all melty.
09 - Grab your spatula and move all that cheesy chicken onto your warm buns. Top with the onions and jalapeños you set aside earlier.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Any leftover stuff stays good in the fridge for four days if you keep it in an airtight box.
02 - You can swap in white onion if you don't have yellow.
03 - If you can't handle the heat, try banana peppers instead of the jalapeños.
