Easy and Healthy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

Good Morning!

I set my alarm this morning so I would make an 8:30 workout class with my mom..getting up that early is big for me I was proud of myself for making it

and then i had to go to the dentist..the dentist is the absolute worst

oh and on my way to the dentist I stopped and got coffee and a whole grain bagel with veggie cream cheese..it was SO good..I warned my dentist i had just eaten breakfast and didn’t get the chance to brush my teeth..woopsies

but enough about my morning lets talk about dinner last night

easy and healthy buffalo chicken sandwiches

I started out by prepping the blue cheese sauce to go on top of the sandwiches..in a bowl went 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese, 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt, juice of half a lemon, salt, pepper, and a little chili powder

set the sauce aside and heat a grill pan over high heat. season 4 chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili powder and grill them for about 4 minutes per side

I always place the chicken season side down in the pan and then season the other side

while the chicken is cooking slice up 1 red onion

once the chicken is done cooking grill the red onions for about 5 minutes until they are nice and caramalized

brush the cooked chicken with buffalo sauce right before you want to assemble the sanwiches

i used Franks Red Hot buffalo sauce

mm this stuff is SO good!

to assemble the sandwiches start by smearing some of the yummy blue cheese sauce on half of a toasted roll

then comes the chicken

then add a few pieces of romaine lettuce or whatever you have on hand and some grilled red onions

mmm deeeelish. and only about 350 calories per sandwich including the roll! not bad!

Here was my plate last night

For my bun I just used 2 pieces of whole wheat bread..this sandwich was SO so good. I’m obsessed with anything that has buffalo sauce on it so these sandwiches were a real winner!

I also cut up a big fruit salad to have for dessert!
