Description
This Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese Slaw Burger is a flavorful and spicy twist on the classic chicken sandwich.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 chicken breasts (1.5–2 pounds)
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s recommended)
- 6 slices mozzarella cheese
- 6 cups coleslaw (pre-made or homemade works great)
- 1 recipe blue cheese dressing
- 6 potato hamburger buns
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker or Instant Pot and pour the buffalo sauce over them to evenly coat. Cook until tender and fully cooked through, approximately 2 hours in a slow cooker or 25-30 minutes under pressure in an Instant Pot.
- Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the buffalo sauce to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Place the shredded buffalo chicken on each potato bun base, then top with a slice of mozzarella cheese. Briefly place the assembled burgers under a broiler or in a hot oven to melt the cheese.
- In a bowl, mix the coleslaw with the blue cheese dressing until well combined.
- Add a generous scoop of blue cheese slaw on top of the melted mozzarella and shredded buffalo chicken on each bun. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
Notes
- Perfect for a make-ahead weeknight meal.
- Offers a delicious balance of heat and coolness.
- Use your favorite buffalo sauce for varying spice levels.
