Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion halved and sliced
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4-1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 5 lices pepper jack cheese
- 4 Hoagie rolls
- 1 tomato sliced
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing
Instructions
- Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in olive oil. Add in onions and saute until onions are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment or wax paper. Use a meat tenderizer or rolling pin to pound out the chicken until 1/4-inch thick.
- Remove sauteed onions from skillet and set aside in a bowl. Place chicken breasts directly into hot pan. Cook about 2 minutes, then flip and cook another 2 minutes.
- Use two spatulas to chop the chicken into bite-size pieces. If you are using a non-stick skillet, remove the chicken and cut on a cutting board and then return to skillet.
- Add onions back to pan with chicken and pour buffalo sauce over the whole thing. Use 1/4 to 1/2 cup depending on personal tastes for spiciness. Stir to combine. Continue cooking until all chicken is cooked through.
- Add slices of cheese over the top. Cover the pan until cheese is completely melted.
- Serve on toasted hoagie buns with tomato slices, lettuce, and a drizzle of bleu cheese dressing.
