Ingredients (Serves 4)

Here’s what you’ll need to build these beauties:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 4 hoagie rolls (or tortillas if making wraps)
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter (plus more for toasting)
• ½ tsp garlic powder (plus a pinch for the rolls)
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• ½ yellow onion, thinly sliced
• ½ cup sliced pickled jalapeños (optional) – sub banana peppers if preferred
• ⅜ cup Frank’s RedHot (yes, that precise! about 6 tbsp)
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• Ranch or blue cheese dressing (go with your gut—and your fridge)

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteaks

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

• Cut the chicken into thin strips or small bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and garlic powder.
• In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tbsp butter and cook the chicken until golden and fully cooked (about 6–8 minutes).
• Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Veggies

• In the same pan, add another tablespoon of butter and toss in the sliced onions and jalapeños.
• Cook until the onions are soft and slightly caramelized (around 5–7 minutes).
• Return the chicken to the pan.

Step 3: Bring the Heat

• Add the remaining butter and Frank’s RedHot to the skillet. Stir until everything is evenly coated in spicy, buttery glory.

Step 4: Melt the Cheese

• Lay the provolone slices over the mixture in the skillet and cover with a lid.
• Let it melt over the chicken like a cozy cheese blanket (1–2 minutes).

Step 5: Assemble the Wraps

• Split and lightly butter your hoagie rolls. Toast in a dry pan until golden and warm.
• Load up each roll with the cheesy chicken filling.
• Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing, wrap it up (or eat open-faced—no judgment!), and dig in.

Ava’s Kitchen Tip: Cheesesteak Confidence

• Too saucy? Wrap the sandwich in foil for 3–5 minutes after assembly. It helps soak up the sauce and gives it that “takeout steam.”
• Low on time? Use rotisserie chicken! Just shred, season, and toss it in the buffalo sauce for a shortcut.

Real Talk: My First Attempt (Yes, Even Ava Fumbles)

I once tried to impress a crowd with this dish for game night. Pro tip: never eyeball Frank’s RedHot when your audience includes spice-sensitive toddlers. Lesson learned. But hey, that batch became the grown-up party tray and earned me a high-five from Uncle Jerry—who thinks mayo is a spice.
