Chicken anyone?

If you're looking for a new recipe to spice up your dinner, literally, I found a new recipe in a Rachael Ray cookbook that I'd love to share!  Again, I'm not a huge fan of chicken.  Yes, I know it's America's go-to meat but I'm quite tired of it.  But this recipe gave the chicken the spicy flavor my poor taste buds had been missing for so long.

Hot Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
4 servings

4 boneless chicken breasts
Salt and Pepper
Paprika
Chili Powder
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup hot sauce
Hamburger buns 
Lettuce
Sour cream
Scallions 
Blue cheese crumbles
celery
carrots

Defrost the chicken breasts, rub with olive oil and season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika and chili powder.  Cook fully on a skillet.  
While chicken is cooking, melt butter, add hot sauce.
When chicken is cooked all the way through, dip chicken in the bowl of hot sauce mix, coating both sides.

**I turned the heat on low, put the chicken back in the skillet and let it sit in a bit of hot sauce to keep warm and marinade while I made the following sauce to put on the sandwich:

Sour cream
Blue cheese crumbles
Scallions

**I didn't measure - just guesstimate!  You want to have enough sauce/dressing to slather on the sandwich.  The celery and carrots are for dipping in the same sauce/dressing - yum!

Bon appetite!  We paired the hot buffalo chicken sandwich with a loaded baked potato.
