Super easy buffalo chicken burgers topped with blue cheese slaw.
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 pound ground chicken breast
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 3 oz blue cheese, crumbled (more or less to taste, I really love blue cheese)
  • 1 cup coleslaw mix (store bought)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ⅓ cup buffalo sauce (I used Frank's)
  • 4 sandwich buns
  • Optional: sliced tomatoes, celery and carrot sticks for serving
Instructions
  1. Add the vegetable oil to a large frying pan and heat over medium high heat.
  2. Spread the breadcrumbs on a plate. Season the ground chicken with salt and pepper--I did this in the tray that it came in, so I didn't have to dirty up another bowl. Form the meat into four equal sized patties and press each patty into the breadcrumbs on both sides. Add to heated pan.
  3. Cook the patties for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the middle reads 165°F. If the breadcrumbs brown too quickly, turn the heat down to medium.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, mix the ranch dressing and the blue cheese in a medium bowl. Reserve a few (3 or 4) tablespoons to use as a spread on your sandwiches. Too the rest, add the coleslaw mix and toss to combine.
  5. In a medium microwave safe bowl, add butter and buffalo sauce. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until butter is melted and mixture is warm. Stir to combine.
  6. When chicken is cooked through, carefully turn each patty in the buffalo sauce one at a time. Serve on a bun topped with the slaw. Add reserved blue cheese dressing and sliced tomatoes as desired.
