Print Recipe

A spicy, cheesy comfort food sandwich featuring tender shredded chicken tossed in buffalo sauce, melted provolone cheese, and caramelized onions on soft hoagie rolls. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 oz / 340 g), thinly sliced or shredded
  • ½ cup (120 ml) Frank’s RedHot or your favorite buffalo wing sauce
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 soft hoagie or sub rolls
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: celery sticks (thinly sliced), blue cheese crumbles, ranch or blue cheese dressing

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the chicken breasts into strips about ¼ inch thick. Peel and slice the onion into thin rings. Mince the garlic cloves. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) if toasting rolls.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat in a skillet. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden. Add minced garlic in the last minute, stir until fragrant. Remove onions and garlic and set aside.
  3. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet. Add chicken slices, season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat 6-8 minutes, stirring often, until chicken is cooked through and browned in spots.
  4. Transfer cooked chicken to a bowl. Pour buffalo sauce over chicken and mix well to coat evenly. Adjust sauce amount to desired heat.
  5. Split hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Layer buffalo chicken inside each roll, top with sautéed onions and garlic. Place one slice of provolone cheese over filling in each sandwich.
  6. Place sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven 5-7 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles. Alternatively, cover skillet with lid and warm sandwiches on low heat until cheese melts.
  7. Add optional toppings like sliced celery or drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

To reduce heat, mix buffalo sauce with melted butter. Toast rolls before assembling for better texture. Avoid overcooking chicken to keep it juicy. Caramelize onions slowly for best sweetness. Provolone cheese melts best for this recipe. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat in oven to avoid soggy bread.
