Ingredients

→ Main Ingredients

01 1 pound chicken breast
02 4 hoagie rolls
03 3 tablespoons unsalted butter + more for buttering the bread
04 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder + more for bread
05 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
06 1/2 yellow onion, sliced (could sub white onion)
07 1/2 sliced pickled jalapeños, roughly chopped (optional, could sub banana peppers)
08 3/8 cup Frank's RedHot
09 4 slices Provolone cheese

→ Serving

10 Ranch or blue cheese dressing

Instructions

Step 01

Place the chicken breast in the freezer for 30-45 minutes.

Step 02

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread butter on the interior of the hoagie rolls and sprinkle with garlic powder. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer and set aside.

Step 03

Remove the chicken from the freezer, slice it as thinly as possible then chop it into smaller pieces, about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch. Toss the chicken with the garlic powder and salt and set aside.

Step 04

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt two tablespoons of butter then add the onions and jalapeños and sauté for 7-8 minutes until the onions have softened and are slightly translucent. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and set aside.

Step 05

Bake the hoagie rolls for five minutes.

Step 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.

Step 07

Reduce heat to medium, add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet, and cook until melted. Add the Frank's RedHot and stir until the chicken is thoroughly coated.

Step 08

Top the chicken with the Provolone cheese slices and cook until melted.

Step 09

Use a spatula to transfer the chicken mixture to the warmed hoagie rolls. Top with the onion/jalapeño mixture and serve warm.

Notes

  1. Best enjoyed fresh
  2. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days
