Instructions

To Make the Chicken

Butterfly the chicken breasts and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and chili powder.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and drizzle in some olive oil to coat the pan. Add the chicken and cook until fully cooked through. Approximately 5-7 minutes on each side.
In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the butter then add in the wing sauce & stir to combine. When the chicken breasts are done cooking, remove from the pan and add to the bowl to coat evenly with hot sauce mixture.

Combine sour cream, blue cheese, and scallions in a small bowl. and slather on bun tops. Top sandwiches and serve, using remaining sauce for dipping your veggies.

To Assemble

Place chicken breasts on bottom bun, top with crisp lettuce, and slater the bleu cheese sauce on the top bun.
Enjoy!
