STEP ONE: Over medium heat, heat two tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Toss your peppers and onions into the pan and saute until softened and translucent, occasionally stirring, for 8-10 minutes. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a bowl, set aside, and return the skillet to the heat.
STEP TWO: Add the remaining oil to the skillet to heat before adding the chicken. Stirring occasionally, cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, ensuring it is golden and fully cooked.
STEP THREE: Add the blue cheese and buffalo sauce to the chicken and stir until well coated. Layer the sauteed onions and peppers gently on top of the chicken mixture.
STEP FOUR: Remove the skillet from the stove and place provolone on top. Cover the entire pan with a lid for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
STEP FIVE: Toast your hoagie rolls, then scoop out generous portions of your chicken and cheese mixture to nestle on top. If desired, place the whole sandwich under a low broiler. Add more buffalo sauce, blue cheese, or any topping of your choice. Enjoy!

If you can’t make this a shaved chicken recipe, no worries! It’s perfectly okay to use pulled pieces or chopped chunks of chicken if that’s what you have on hand.
