Instructions
1. Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Filling
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch or blue cheese dressing, olive oil, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until all ingredients are well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Assemble the Subs
- Slice the sub rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.
- Spoon generous amounts of the buffalo chicken mixture into each sub roll, pressing gently to pack the filling.
- Top each stuffed sub with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
4. Bake the Subs
- Place the stuffed subs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden brown.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
- Slice and serve warm, perhaps with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
Tips for the Perfect Buffalo Chicken Subs
- Adjust the Spice Level: If you love a fiery kick, use a hotter buffalo sauce or add diced jalapeños to the filling. For a milder option, you can use a mix of buffalo and BBQ sauce.
- Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the buffalo chicken filling in advance and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to bake, simply stuff the rolls and pop them in the oven.
- Leftover Chicken: This recipe is perfect for using up leftover chicken, making it a great option for weeknight dinners as well.
