You probably can’t tell by my blog posts but I have actually been trying to eat healthy lately. If you know me or work with me you’ll know that I LOVE to snack. This means that sometimes eating healthy gets really hard when you’re munching on food all day long. My mom likes to call it grazing, as if I am some sort of animal that just walks around eating for a living. After a week of changing my snacking routine to almonds and veggies I have finally cracked. I needed something that was going to be unhealthy in a bad way! I sent J a message to grab some beer and grocery list so I could make Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches.I originally thought this would be great while the Canucks game was on but unfortunately the game was dreadful.

I don’t think I have ever made these at home for J before and I am pretty surprised with myself since I love spicy food and these are crazy easy to make. I don’t make the hot sauce, only the blue cheese dressing but if you want to give a hot sauce recipe a try email me and tell me how it goes! I’ll just stick to smothering my chicken with Franks original sauce for now.

The blue cheese dressing was super easy! Mine was a little chunky, and more of a spread but there is lots of variations so just play with the ingredients until you’ve got your own consistency.

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ oz crumbled blue cheese (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup)
  • 3 Tsp sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

 

As you can see in the photo I may have gone a little overboard with my blue cheese sauce but it was so yummy, I couldn’t help myself. As for the chicken, I made chicken strips from scratch but feel free to use what you want. I found the easiest way to coat them with hot sauce is to just throw the chicken in a bag and shake the sauce to cover. I topped my sandwiches with lettuce and tomato!
