Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Slice sandwich rolls open and lightly butter the outsides. Sprinkle garlic powder over the buttered sides.
- Spoon the buffalo ranch chicken mixture onto the bottom halves of the rolls.
- Top generously with shredded cheese and place the top halves of the rolls over the filling.
- Place sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is lightly toasted.

- Add optional green onions or pickles before serving.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation.
- Reduce buffalo sauce or add extra ranch to make it less spicy.
- Grill in a skillet like a panini for an alternative cooking method.
- Store filling separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat assembled sandwiches in the oven to prevent soggy bread.
