Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 2 tbsp ranch or blue cheese dressing
Cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Bread and Toppings
- 4 sub rolls or hoagie buns
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prep Baking Sheet: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup and even baking.
- Mix Chicken Filling: In a bowl, combine cooked shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing; mix well so the chicken is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce dressing blend.
- Prepare Sub Rolls: Slice each sub roll lengthwise, leaving a hinge so the bread stays connected. Hollow out some of the inner bread to create room for the filling without overstuffing.
- Assemble the Subs: In another bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Layer each sub with a portion of cheese, then add buffalo chicken mixture, followed by a topping of more cheese to ensure gooey, cheesy goodness inside.
- Butter and Season: Mix melted butter with garlic powder, and brush this mixture on the tops of the subs to add flavor and promote browning.
- Bake the Subs: Place the assembled subs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes until the cheese melts and the subs are warmed through.
- Optional Broil: For a golden, toasty finish, broil the subs for 1–2 minutes while closely watching to prevent burning.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top if desired. Serve the subs warm with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken is a convenient and flavorful shortcut for the cooked shredded chicken.
- Enhance flavor by adding sliced jalapeños, red onions, or crumbled blue cheese to the filling.
- Broiling is optional but adds a nice crispy and golden top layer to the cheese.
