Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Cheesy Bread Subs
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 4 sub rolls (or any bread roll with a soft interior)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
2. Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Filling:
- In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce until fully coated.
3. Prepare the Rolls:
- Slice each sub roll horizontally, but don’t cut all the way through; leave one side attached to create a “hinge.”
- Scoop out a little of the bread from the center of each roll to create room for the filling.
4. Stuff the Subs:
- Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each hollowed-out roll. Top with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. If you love blue cheese, sprinkle a few blue cheese crumbles over the top.
5. Make the Garlic Butter Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture on the top of each roll to add flavor and help the bread get crispy.
6. Bake:
- Place the stuffed subs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is crispy.
7. Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
Recipe Notes
- Heat Adjustment: Adjust the buffalo sauce amount based on your spice preference. Add a little extra if you like it spicy!
- Make Ahead: You can assemble the subs and store them in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking. Perfect for prepping before a party!
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to keep the bread crispy.
