This is from the Cook This Not That cookbook, I recommend picking it up If you don't have it already. The recipes are amazing, low calorie, nutrient packed, and cost efficient.
Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches - 4 servings
You'll need:
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
Juice of half a lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 to 6 oz each)
1/2 Tbsp chili powder
1 red onion, sliced
2 Tbsp butter, melted in the microwave for 20 seconds
2 Tbsp hot sauce (Frank's Red Hot is our pick)
4 romaine lettuce leaves
4 sesame buns, toasted
How to make it:
1 Preheat a nonstick grill or grill pan. As it's heating, combine the blue cheese, yogurt, and lemon juice, plus a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and set aside.
2 Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Add the 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 Combine the butter and hot sauce and brush the mixture all over the chicken. Place a leaf of romaine on the base of each bun. Top with a chicken breast and spoon on some blue-cheese sauce(I switched out a slice of mozzarella cheese due to my intense hatred of Blue Cheese). Add grilled onions and the top half of the bun. Makes 4 servings
