Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
• 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing
• 2 hoagie rolls

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine the chicken and buffalo wing sauce until the chicken is well coated with the sauce. Open the hoagie rolls and spread the blue cheese dressing onto one side of the buns. Place 1 cup of the chicken into each roll, sprinkle with cheddar cheese, then transfer to a baking sheet. Bake in an oven preheated to 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the sandwich are golden brown. Serve immediately with celery sticks and potato chips. Enjoy!
