Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Grilling

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (4 to 6 ounces each)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted in the microwave for 20 seconds
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (Frank's RedHot is our pick)
  • 4 romaine lettuce leaves
  • 4 sesame buns, toasted

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill or nonstick grill pan. As it’s heating, combine the yogurt, blue cheese, and lemon juice, plus a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir and set aside.

  2. Season the chicken breasts with the chili powder and salt and pepper to taste. Add the chicken breasts to the hot grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on one side before flipping them.

  3. Add the onion to the grill’s perimeter. (If you’re using a grill pan, you’ll need to wait to remove the chicken before grilling the onions.) Cook the chicken until firm and springy to the touch, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove it to a plate, along with the grilled onions.

  4. In a small bowl, combine the butter and hot sauce and brush the mixture all over the chicken. Place a leaf of romaine on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a chicken breast and spoon on some blue-cheese sauce. Add grilled onions and the top half of the bun.
