Ingredients
Scale
For the chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the coleslaw:
- 2 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons buffalo sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
For serving:
- 4 sandwich buns
- Optional toppings like sliced pickles, red onion, or extra ranch dressing
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine the chicken breasts with buffalo sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Prepare the coleslaw: Mix together the coleslaw mix, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss until fully coated and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Grill the chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through. Toast the buns if desired.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place grilled chicken on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a generous scoop of buffalo ranch coleslaw and any additional toppings. Add the top bun and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can also use shredded rotisserie chicken tossed in buffalo sauce for a quicker version.
- Serve with sweet potato fries or a side salad for a complete meal.
