Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Meat

01 - 1 pound chicken breast

→ Bread

02 - 4 hoagie rolls

→ Dairy & Fats

03 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter + extra for buttering bread
04 - 4 slices Provolone cheese

→ Vegetables

05 - 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
06 - 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños, roughly chopped (optional)

→ Seasonings & Sauces

07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder + extra for bread
08 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
09 - 3/8 cup Frank's RedHot sauce
10 - Ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving

# Instructions:

01 - Place the chicken breast in the freezer for 30-45 minutes to firm up for easier slicing.
02 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread butter on the interior of the hoagie rolls and sprinkle with garlic powder. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer.
03 - Remove the chicken from the freezer, slice it as thinly as possible then chop into smaller pieces, about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch. Toss the chicken with the garlic powder and salt.
04 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt two tablespoons of butter then add the onions and jalapeños. Sauté for 7-8 minutes until the onions have softened and are slightly translucent. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and set aside.
05 - Bake the prepared hoagie rolls for five minutes until lightly toasted.
06 - Add the chicken to the hot skillet, increase heat to high, and cook for 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until slightly browned and cooked through.
07 - Reduce heat to medium, add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet, and cook until melted. Add the Frank's RedHot sauce and stir until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
08 - Top the chicken with the Provolone cheese slices and cook until melted.
09 - Use a spatula to transfer the chicken mixture to the warmed hoagie rolls. Top with the onion/jalapeño mixture and add ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired. Serve warm.

# Notes:

01 - You can substitute white onion for yellow onion if preferred.
02 - Banana peppers can be used instead of jalapeños for a milder flavor.
03 - Partially freezing the chicken makes it easier to slice thinly.
