After breaking down a chicken, the breasts are always one of the first items I like to use up. And this sandwich is simple, easy, and makes a perfect lunch! —mtlabor

Ingredients
-
2
chicken breasts, skin removed
-
1 tablespoon
olive oil
-
lettuce
-
1/4 cup
of your favorite hot sauce (I used Frank's Wing Sauce - it's thicker and coats the chicken better)
-
bacon
-
2
whole wheat buns
-
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
-
Heat a large skillet under medium high heat and add oil. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. When oil is shimmering, add chicken to pan.
-
When the bottom side is a nice golden brown (about 4-6 minutes), flip the breast over.
-
Finish cooking the chicken until white throughout, an additional 5-7 minutes. Transfer chicken breasts to a plate and let rest.
-
Assemble your sandwiches by placing lettuce on the bottom half of the bun.
-
Then you'll want to place your hot sauce in a medium stainless steel bowl. Add chicken breasts, one at a time, swirling them around to coat well with sauce - kind of like you're saucin' some wings, ya know?
-
Then place your sauced chicken breast on top of the lettuce.
-
Then add a little bacon if you're feelin' frisky.
-
And close that sucker up with the top bun, and voila! A buffalo chicken sandwich that'll be gone in less time than it took to put together!
