GRILLED BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICHES

These grilled buffalo chicken sandwiches are smoky and saucy and topped with refreshing gorgonzola slaw and a spritz of lime!

Provided by How Sweet Eats

Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 to 6 thin sliced chicken breasts ((I slice 3 breasts in half))
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper
½ cup hot sauce ((like frank's red hot or frank's buffalo wing))
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
brioche buns, (for serving)
ranch or blue cheese dressing, (for serving)
2 to 3 cups chopped/shredded green or savoy cabbage, (or 1 (14oz) bag coleslaw mix)
1 large carrot, (peeled into ribbons)
4 ounces crumbled gorgonzola cheese, (plus extra for serving if you wish)
3 tablespoons plain greek yogurt
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil, (or avocado oil or another oil you love)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat your grill to the highest setting.
  • For the chicken, I like to use thin sliced breasts because I think they are easier to eat on a sandwich. I usually buy chicken breasts and slice them in half lengthwise.
  • Season the chicken breasts all over with a pinch of salt, pepper and the smoked paprika and garlic powder.
  • Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and place the hot sauce and butter in it. Cook just until the butter melts, stirring often. You can also do this in the microwave!
  • You want the grill heat between 400 and 450 degrees, so reduce the heat slightly if needed. Place the chicken on the grill. Grill for 4 minutes, then flip and grill for 3 minutes more. Brush the chicken with the buffalo wing sauce. Flip, brush the other side, and grill for another minute. You can do this 1 or 2 more times, you want the internal temperature to be 165 degrees F. It may take more or less time based on the thickness of your chicken breast! You can also throw the buns on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes if you'd like.
  • When the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and brush it with more of the buffalo sauce.
  • To serve, if desired you can add a little bit of blue cheese dressing or ranch on the bottom of the bun. Top with the chicken breast (or 2, if you're my husband), then top with the slaw. You can add an extra sprinkle of gorgonzola too! Eat immediately. Yum.

Take your everyday grilled cheese sandwiches to new heights with the addition of shredded Buffalo chicken, blue cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Serve with ranch dressing, or additional wing sauce, and some fresh, raw vegetables for crunch!

Provided by Bibi

Categories     Chicken Sandwiches

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup hot Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's® REDHOT Buffalo Wing Sauce), or to taste
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken
1 (4 ounce) package crumbled blue cheese
8 slices Texas toast
8 slices Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup ranch dressing, or to taste
1 ½ cups carrot strips
1 cup celery sticks

Steps:

  • Combine wing sauce, granulated garlic, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne in a large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Toss in cooked shredded chicken, coating all the chicken pieces with the seasoning mixture, and heat through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in blue cheese crumbles.
  • Assemble the sandwiches by starting with a slice of Texas toast. Add one slice of Monterey Jack cheese, top with chicken mixture, add a second slice of cheese, then place another slice of toast on top, buttered-side up. Repeat for 4 sandwiches.
  • Place a completed sandwich in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, until the toast is browned and the cheese is softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the toast. Turn down the heat if the sandwich is browning too fast. Using a spatula, carefully turn the sandwich and cook until the sandwich is brown on the other side, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Serve with additional wing sauce, if desired, ranch dressing, carrot strips, and celery sticks.

BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICHES



Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches image

Forget about the fast food fried chicken sandwich wars! We think our buffalo chicken sandwich beats them all. We fill it with fresh chicken, spicy buffalo sauce, a rich brioche bun and cool blue cheese dressing.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large chicken cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds total)
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 1/2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (about 1/3 cup)
1 cup self-rising flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup Buffalo-style hot sauce
Vegetable oil, for frying
4 brioche buns, split
2 cups shredded coleslaw mix
1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a shallow bowl. Cover with the buttermilk, turning to coat. Combine the ranch dressing and blue cheese in a small bowl and refrigerate. On a large plate, stir together the flour and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Pour the Buffalo sauce into a shallow bowl. Line a large plate with a few layers of paper towels.
  • Add enough vegetable oil to a large skillet to come halfway up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350˚ F. Working in batches, remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, then coat in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil and fry until dark golden brown and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • As soon as the chicken is cool enough to handle, dip in the Buffalo sauce, coating it entirely. Place each chicken cutlet on a bun bottom and top with coleslaw and cucumber. Spread the bun tops with the blue cheese mixture and close the sandwiches. Serve with potato chips.
