I LOVE the buffalo chicken sandwich at Smashburger! However, it's 500 calories!! We would have spent at least $30 going there. This dinner was approximately $3-4 for the 3 of us (if that). Here's what I did:
I made 8 small loaves of french bread over the weekend, recipe from The Prudent Homemaker http://theprudenthomemaker.com/index.php/french-bread
I froze half of them, gave one to my sister, and used three with meals this week.
Buffalo Chicken Sliders
Serves 4 (2 sliders per person, about 230 cals per slider)
Slice small loaf of french bread or other narrow baguette into 16 1/2 inch slices
One pound thawed chicken breast (about 4 small)
Hot sauce of choice ( I like Frank's buffalo sauce, zero cals so load it on!)
Crumbled feta (use about 1 Tbsp per slider)
Light ranch (I Tbsp per slider)
Romaine leaves
1. Butterfly the breasts into 2 thinner pieces (hit them with a tenderizer if you really want the "smash")
grill on medium heat til cooked through and lightly browned
2. Spray pan with cooking spray and set slices of bread on them, heat on low to give them a light toasting on each side
3. Wash and cut 4 inch pieces of the romaine leaves
Set your sauces and cheese on the table with a platter of toasted bread and chicken pieces and everyone builds their slider to their own liking! This was especially great for our 5 year old who could make his own little sandwich creation.
I was so eager to dig into these that I completely forgot to take a photo!
What signature sandwiches do you crave?
