Description

A flavorful and spicy Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese Slaw Burger featuring tender buffalo-sauced chicken breasts topped with mozzarella cheese and a refreshing blue cheese slaw, all served on a soft potato hamburger bun. This make-ahead weeknight meal combines bold buffalo heat with creamy blue cheese tang for a deliciously satisfying burger experience.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Buffalo Sauce

  • 2-3 chicken breasts (1.5-2 pounds)
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce (we prefer Sweet Baby Ray’s)

Cheese and Slaw

  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 6 cups coleslaw (pre-made works great!)
  • 1 recipe blue cheese dressing

Buns

  • 6 potato hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a cooking vessel suitable for slow cooking or baking. If slow cooking, add buffalo sauce and cover. If baking, preheat the oven and coat chicken with buffalo sauce.
  2. Cook the chicken: Cook the chicken breasts thoroughly. If slow cooking, set on low for about 2 hours until the chicken is tender. If baking, cook at 375°F (190°C) for about 30-40 minutes until cooked through.
  3. Shred the chicken: Once cooked, remove chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Mix the shredded chicken with additional buffalo sauce to keep it moist and flavorful.
  4. Assemble the slaw: In a bowl, toss the coleslaw with the blue cheese dressing until evenly coated to create the blue cheese slaw.
  5. Toast the buns: Lightly toast the potato hamburger buns to enhance texture and flavor.
  6. Build the burgers: Place a generous portion of shredded buffalo chicken on the bottom bun. Top with a slice of mozzarella cheese and a heap of the blue cheese slaw. Cover with the top bun.
  7. Serve: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy a delicious combination of spicy buffalo chicken and creamy blue cheese slaw in every bite.
