Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

Whenever I ask my husband what he wants for dinner, and chicken is on the menu, his answer is always buffalo chicken sandwich.  After a busy weekend this was a quick, easy and delicious way to begin the week!

I decided to try a different way of preparing the buffalo chicken rather then the usual frying.  I breaded it and baked it in the oven.  It came out really yummy, especially knowing all the calories we were saving.  You can use low fat or fat free blue cheese dressing to cut out even more calories :)


2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 large eggs
1/4 cup hot sauce, plus more for dressing sandwich
1 cup bread crumbs
1 cup flour
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
1/2 cup blue cheese dressing
lettuce
tomato
salt and pepper
4 bulky rolls



Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Begin by pounding out the chicken breasts until about 1/2 inch thick.  Cut the breasts in half so that you have four breasts. 

In three seperate shallow dishes place egg, flour and bread crumbs.  Beat the egg and add in 1/4 cup hot sauce.  In the flour dish mix in a teaspoon of salt and teaspoon of pepper.

Coat each breast with flour, shake of excess.  Place the chicken in egg mixture and coat.  Place back in the egg and then finish with the bread crumbs.  Place onto baking sheet and spray each breast with cooking spray.  Cook for 6 minutes.  Flip over the chicken and spray, cook for another 6 minutes.

Mix together blue cheese dressing and blue cheese crumbles.  Spread mixture between the four buns.  Place chicken on buns, top with hot sauce (as much or as little as you like).  Add lettuce and tomato!

  1. What is it with men and buffalo sauce? I mean, it is tasty, but it seems like an obsession for them. I love how you baked it - a much better idea.
