Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp butter divided (for rolls and skillet)
  • 4 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 4 oz cream cheese cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 3/4 cup Frank's Buffalo hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • blue cheese optional, for topping and sprinkling
  • hoagie rolls toasted and split
  • mayonnaise optional, for buns
  • provolone cheese for melting on top (amount as desired)

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to broil and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly spread butter across the cut inner surfaces of the hoagie rolls and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Broil the rolls 1 minute or until the inner surfaces are lightly browned and slightly crisp, then remove and reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
  4. In a skillet over medium heat, melt remaining butter and add the cream cheese pieces; stir until cream cheese begins to soften.
  5. Add the shredded chicken and chicken stock to the skillet and stir to combine, then reduce heat to low.
  6. Stir in the Frank's Buffalo hot sauce and shredded sharp cheddar; continue stirring until the cheddar and cream cheese are melted and the mixture is creamy, about 1–2 minutes.
  7. If desired, spread mayonnaise on the toasted buns.
  8. Spoon the hot chicken mixture onto the toasted hoagie rolls, top with provolone if using, then place under the oven (350°F) for 1–2 minutes until the provolone melts.
  9. Remove sandwiches from the oven and sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and a little extra hot sauce if desired, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked shredded chicken to save time.
  • Blue cheese is optional and can be omitted for a milder flavor.
  • Adjust hot sauce amount to control spiciness.
