Pack in the protein but skip the mess of frying with this lean, easy-to-eat take on hot wings Ingredients:
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese |
1/2 cup greek yogurt |
juice of half a lemon |
salt and pepper |
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 to 6 oz each) |
1/2 tablespoon chili powder |
1 red onion, sliced |
2 tablespoons butter, melted in the microwave for 20 seconds |
2 tablespoons hot sauce (frank's red hot is our pick) |
4 romaine lettuce leaves |
4 hamburger buns with sesame seeds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Preheat a nonstick grill or grill pan. As it's heating, combine the blue cheese, yogurt, and lemon juice, plus a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and set aside.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Add the breasts to the hot grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on one side before flipping them.
3. Add the onion to the grill's perimeter. (If you're using a grill pan, you'll need to wait to remove the chicken before grilling the onions.) Cook the chicken until firm and springy to the touch, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove it to a plate, along with the grilled onions.
4. Combine the butter and hot sauce and brush the mixture all over the chicken. Place a leaf of romaine on the base of each bun. Top with a chicken breast and spoon on some blue-cheese sauce. Add grilled onions and the top half of the bun. Makes 4 servings.
