Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 1/2 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup tangy buffalo wing sauce
  • 4 slices of melted provolone cheese
  • 2 soft hoagie buns
  • Creamy blue cheese dressing
  • 1 tablespoon hot honey
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

Step 1: Cook the Chicken
  1. Start by heating the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, toss in the sliced onions. Sauté them until they’re nice and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. This step adds a beautiful sweetness to the dish.
    Next, season the chicken strips with salt and pepper. Once the onions are ready, add the to the pan. Cook until the chicken is golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2: Add the Buffalo Sauce
  1. Once the chicken is cooked through, pour in the buffalo wing sauce. Stir well, ensuring every piece of chicken gets coated. Allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. This will help the flavors marry together beautifully.
Step 3: Melt the Provolone
  1. Now, here’s where it gets indulgent. Turn on your broiler. Take the chicken off the heat and lay the provolone slices over the top. 
    Broil for about 1-2 minutes, watching closely! Once the cheese gets that deliciously bubbly and slightly browned look, you know it’s ready.
Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich
  1. Slice the hoagie buns in half. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. 
    Drizzle with creamy blue cheese dressing and a touch of hot honey. Top with chopped parsley for that lovely finish. Place the top of the bun back on, and voila!

Notes

  • Cheese Choice: Instead of provolone, feel free to try Monterey Jack or cheddar if you prefer a different flavor.
  • Onion Substitute: If you’re not a fan of onions, consider using bell peppers for added crunch.
  • Homemade Buffalo Sauce: If you’re feeling adventurous, mix your own buffalo sauce using melted butter and hot sauce!
  • Spiciness Level: Adjust the heat of the buffalo sauce according to your preference. There are milder versions available.
  • Toasting Buns: For an added crunch, toast the hoagie buns before assembling.
