Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 4 sub rolls
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing
- 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by patting the breasts dry with paper towels and seasoning both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 400-450°F. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Place chicken breasts on the hot grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on the first side, creating nice grill marks and ensuring even cooking.
- Flip the chicken and continue grilling for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
- During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken generously with buffalo sauce, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
- Remove chicken from the grill and let rest for 3-4 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice the sub rolls and lightly toast them on the grill for 1-2 minutes to add crispness.
- Slice the grilled buffalo chicken breasts into thin strips or diagonal pieces.
- Assemble the subs by spreading blue cheese dressing on the toasted rolls, then layering with sliced chicken, shredded lettuce, and tomato slices.
- Drizzle additional buffalo sauce over the chicken if desired for extra heat and flavor.
- Serve immediately while the chicken is still warm and the rolls are crisp.
Tips
- * Make sure to pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels before grilling to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. * Don't be shy with the buffalo sauce - brush it on generously during the last 2 minutes of cooking to get that perfect caramelized flavor. * Let the chicken rest for 3-4 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, making it even more tender and juicy. * Toasting the sub rolls on the grill adds a nice crispness, but be careful not to overdo it to avoid burning. * Feel free to customize your subs with additional toppings like diced onions, pickles, or jalapeños to give them an extra kick.
