Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup buffalo sauce
• 8 slices Provolone cheese
• 4 hoagie rolls
• Blue cheese dressing, for topping

Instructions

1. Pat the chicken dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper.

2. Warm 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes per side.

3. Add 1/4 cup water to the skillet, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.

4. Remove the chicken to a bowl, cover with foil, and set aside to rest.

5. Reduce skillet heat to medium and preheat the broiler to high.

6. Add remaining oil and butter to the skillet. Once melted, add onion and pepper, cooking for 5-6 minutes until tender.

7. Shred the rested chicken with two forks.

8. Add shredded chicken and buffalo sauce to the skillet with vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

9. Place 2 slices of Provolone on each hoagie roll. Broil for a couple of minutes until cheese melts.

10. Divide the buffalo chicken mixture between the rolls. Top with blue cheese dressing and serve hot.
