There are very few things that I would not put Buffalo sauce on. I love the flavor and all the varieties of it. I have made all sorts of buffalo recipes, including one of my favorites the Buffalo Chicken Mac’N’Cheese Casserole. That recipe was some serious comfort food, but this recipe is a bit fancier and not so hard on your arteries. It is a good idea to grill the chicken for this recipe, but you can also bake it if you do not have access to a grill. I baked it when I originally cooked it.

I got this recipe from Bobby Flay, from Food Network. The buffalo glazed give the chicken a bit of spice and the bleu cheese dressing cooks it down. It is just like your favorite chicken wings, but made a little healthier and dressed up a bit.

Ingredients

1 stick unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic chopped
8 tsp plus 2 tbsp chili powder
1/2 cup hot buffalo sauce such as Frank's
2 tbsp honey
Salt & black pepper to taste
4 chicken breasts
2 tbsp plus 2 tsp ground cumin 8 teaspoons
Canola oil
1/2 cup half and half
1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 cup crumbled bleu cheese

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium. Melt the butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan.
Add the garlic and sautee for 1 minute, then whisk in 2 tbsp chile powder and stir for about 10 seconds.
Stir in the honey and buffalo sauce, season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside 1/4 cup for garnishing.
Sprinkle remaining chile powder, cumin, salt and pepper evenly over both sides of each breast.
Drizzle each chicken breast with canola oil and grill over medium heat until charred, flip each and brush with the buffalo glaze.
Cover and cook the chicken until cooked through, periodically brushing with the glaze (about 5 minutes).
Meanwhile, whisk the heavy cream and creme fraiche in a bowl, stir in the parsley and cheese, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Place one chicken breast on each plate and brush with remaining glaze and cover with the blue cheese sauce before serving.
