DIRECTIONS
Prep
Prepare the hot dog rolls by gently opening the rolls at their slits and placing 1 1/2 - 2 pieces of cheese to cover the entire bottom of each bun
Lining the rolls with cheese at the bottom is very important, otherwise, the rolls will not hold the wetness and heat off the cheesesteak mixture later. Don’t worry about how it looks now, the cheese will melt once the filling goes on top
Peel the sweet onion and use a sharp knife to cut the onion in half. Then cut one of the halves into strips or dice, whichever you prefer for your grilled onions
Fill a measuring cup with 1/2 cup of fat free milk and set aside
Instructions
Place the 3 prepared hot dog rolls on a plate
Turn 2 stovetop burners to medium-high heat. Spray 2 pans with cooking spray and add the prepared onion into the smaller pan. Sprinkle with salt and stir occasionally. Let the onions cook until golden brown
Open the chicken package and transfer the ground chicken into the large pan using your hands. Wash hands immediately. Use the wooden spoon to break up the chicken and stir it in the pan
Continue to stir and break up the chicken until it is no longer pink. At this point, turn the heat down to medium
Transfer the onions from the smaller pan into the pan containing the chicken. Add about 2 tbsp of garlic powder (enough to coat the entire surface of the pan) and add plenty of salt with a bit of pepper. Stir together
Continue to stir and break up the chicken
Place approximately 5 slices of cheese on top of the chicken mixture and allow to soften and melt (approx. 2-5 minutes). It works best if you tear the cheese into halves before placing on the mixture so that it melts faster
Add the 1/2 cup of milk, and stir the chicken cheesesteak filling together, continuing to cook, until a thick sauce forms (approx. 3-5 minutes). Add another 2 tbsp of garlic powder and more salt. You should taste a bit of the mixture to determine whether it is adequately seasoned (ensure that the chicken is no longer pink, which will indiate that it is cooked and safe to eat)
Scoop the cheesesteak filling into the rolls. Serve warm or transfer to a sheet of foil, and wrap so that the heat from the filling allows the cheese lining to continue melting
