Cooking With Beer, Whiskey and Spirits

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce (adjust for spice preference)
• 1/4 cup flour
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 4 slices cheddar or provolone cheese
• 4 sandwich buns (brioche buns work great)
• 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes
• Optional: sliced pickles, red onion slices

Instructions

1. Prep the Chicken:
   • Place the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound until they’re about 1/2 inch thick.
   • Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour to create a light crust.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • In a skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat.
   • Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).
3. Add Buffalo Sauce and Cheese:
   • Once the chicken is cooked, pour the Buffalo sauce over the chicken in the skillet, flipping to coat both sides.
   • Place a slice of cheese on top of each chicken breast and cover the skillet for a minute to let the cheese melt.
4. Assemble the Sandwiches:
   • Spread ranch or blue cheese dressing on the bottom half of each bun.
   • Place a Buffalo-coated chicken breast on each bun, then add shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and any other toppings you’d like (such as pickles or red onions).
   • Top with the other half of the bun.
5. Serve:
   • Serve immediately with extra Buffalo sauce or a side of fries.
