Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    Rub the grilled chicken breasts with chipotle seasoning, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Slice the Chicken

    Once rested, slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Prepare the Hoagie Rolls

    Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through.

  2. 5

    Add Chicken and Cheese

    Place the sliced grilled chicken evenly inside each hoagie roll. Top with 2 slices of American cheese for each sandwich.

  3. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    If desired, place the sandwiches under a broiler for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  4. 7

    Add Toppings

    Layer crispy cheddar onions, lettuce leaves, and slices of tomato on top of the melted cheese.

  5. 8

    Drizzle with Dressing

    Generously drizzle chipotle ranch dressing over the toppings.

  6. 9

    Close and Serve

    Close the hoagie rolls and serve immediately while warm.
