Buffalo Chicken Tacos

February 2, 2016

Buffalo Chicken Tacos

There are so many things going on right now, I don’t even know where to begin!

“Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop.”

I have just 9 days left at work before moving. It’s scary and wonderful at the same time. I’ve been here for over 9 years and I love where I am and what I do, but it’s time for some change.

The tickets for Autumn and I to move on 2/15 are booked.

My dad is flying up tomorrow to get our loaded up car to drive to CT to stay at my sister’s, then he will take the Auto Train from VA to FL arriving on Friday. And then my brother and dad will unload the car and assemble Autumn’s crib while my brother is on vacation. My family just effing rocks!

And that bag of poop with a spray tan, wearing a toupee didn’t win in Iowa. So that’s pretty awesome.

Plus, I have these bangin’ Buffalo Chicken Tacos for you today!

And I didn’t purposefully make them for the ‘Big Game’! I just made them because I was really craving some buffalo chicken and ta-da, I made some tacos. Duh! It’s Taco Tuesday! Double duh!

Did you know that the NFL owns the rights to “Super Bowl” and retailers and TV shows reference it as “The Big Game”, “Game Day”, etc so they don’t have to pay the NFL? I find it silly and awesome. There should be a drinking game for how many times the hosts of Food Network’s The Kitchen day “The Big Game”. Love it!

Anyway, these took about 15 minutes to whip up, which is perfect for a lunch or quick dinner. Or to even throw together for your friends while you watch “The Big Game!!!”

I made my own blue cheese dressing since I really like to make most of my own dressings, but you can make things even easier for yourself and just grab your favorite blue cheese dressing.

Buffalo Chicken Waffle Sandwiches

July 29, 2015

Buffalo Chicken Waffle Sandwich

Summer is in full swing and I am loving it. But it’s speeding by too quickly. It’s almost August. Do you hear that noise? It’s mean groaning!! Ugh!!!

Buffalo Chicken Waffle Sandwich-1

I mean, as much as I love the upcoming Autumn with its crunchy leaves, apple cider donuts, and corduroy, I am trying to avoid thinking about it so I stay in the land of rosé, grilling, and flip flops.

To me the scariest part is how we have not accomplished much on our Boston Bucket List. I shared our list earlier in the year when I announced that we will be moving to Tampa next Spring. We have to get to work! There are so many places to visit and things to eat!!

Buffalo Chicken Waffle Sandwich-2

At least I know we will get a bunch of things done this August as we are vacationing on The Cape for a week. So we can visit The Cape Cod Potato Chip Factory and splash around on the beaches. Aside from that, I just can’t wait for the time off to hang with my family. I already have started to compile my list of goodies to make.

And of course I am packing my waffle iron!!

Buffalo Chicken Waffle Sandwich-5 Buffalo Chicken Waffle Sandwich-6

I’ve jumped from the breakfast and dessert waffle to the lunch waffle.

You can’t deny that Buffalo Chicken Wings aren’t a favorite for people. They are hot and spicy. And you just love how the blue cheese dip cools off those heated bites. Buffalo Chicken anything always rocks.

Buffalo Chicken Waffle Sandwich-7 Buffalo Chicken Waffle Sandwich-8

Making this Buffalo Chicken Waffle Sandwich really combines the best of both worlds. You can the heat from the chicken, rich tanginess from the dressing that helps cool off the heat and the crunch from the waffle.

I used a basic complete pancake mix that I jazzed up with some cornmeal for some extra flavor and crunch. The egg and oil that I added adds flavor as well.

Buffalo Chicken Waffle Sandwich-9 Buffalo Chicken Waffle Sandwich-10

I used my Toastmaster Rotating Waffle Maker by Select Brands. I swear it makes the best Belgian Waffles. I’ve used it to make so many waffles Sour Cream Waffles with Peach Compote and Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream, Banana’s Foster Waffles, Chili Topped Cornbread Waffles, The Best Buttermilk Waffles, and these Cherry Crisp Waffles.

So yeah, I like it! It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and cooks evenly. The flip helps the batter get in the deep ridges, signature to Belgian Waffles. And its such a simple task you can do it with 1 hand.

And I love it so much and I want you to as well, so I’m giving one of these Toastmaster Rotating Waffle Maker by Select Brands away!!! Check out how to enter below!!!

I think all sandwiches should be made with waffles. You should give it a try, I swear you will be a convert!

Buffalo Chicken Waffle Sandwich-4

Buffalo Chicken Waffle Sandwiches

Makes 2 Sandwiches

Ingredients

For the Waffle Sandwich

  • 1 1/2 Cups Complete Buttermilk Pancake Mix, such as Krusteaz Brand
  • 1/2 Cup corn meal
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 Cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Sandwich

  • 6 Chicken Large Tenders
  • 1 Tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/3 Cup Hot Sauce- I suggest Frank’s Red Hot
  • 1/2 Cup arugula
  • 1/4 Cup blue cheese dressing
  • splash of milk

Process

  1. Preheat your belgian waffle iron.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, mix all of the ingredients for the waffle batter until just combined; some lumps are okay.
  3. Scoop a 1/3 Cup of the batter into the center of your waffle iron. Cook until golden brown. Repeat to make 4 total waffles.
  4. While you are making the waffles, brown the chicken in a skillet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray over medium heat. When both sides are browned, add the butter and hot sauce. Continue to cook on very low heat until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Combine all of the ingredients.
  6. Thin out your blue cheese dressing a bit with some milk to create a sauce to pour on the sandwich.
  7. Create your sandwich by placing some arugula on a waffle, place the chicken tenders on the greens, and then pour some of the blue cheese dressing on the chicken prior to topping off with another waffle.

Buffalo Chicken Pita Pizzas

November 20, 2011

Last weekend was Price’s good friend’s 30th birthday. To celebrate, another friend stayed with us so we could all go out on Sturday night. As the guys were marathoning through video games and episodes of Ninja Warrior, I bugged them about what to have for a lunch/snack because I knew it would be hours until dinner. I started by suggestions snacks and things seemed settled on a dip, then they picked buffalo chicken dip with chips and veggies. As I started to plan and double check they changed their minds and decided on buffalo chicken pizza.

  

I planned on using a pre-made pizza crust to make the pizza quickly for the guys. Then I debated on making them using sandwich wraps, similar to my Whole Wheat Pesto Pizza with Ricotta, Mushrooms, and Red Onions, but then I decided to go with sandwich wraps. I figured that thicken pita bread would stand up better to the heavier buffalo chicken. All that thought for some simple buffalo chicken pizzas.

  

The pizza really delivers an intense buffalo chicken flavor. Most buffalo chicken pizzas I have had don’t pack the same punch since they use some sauce on the chicken and on the crust. Instead, I made a thicken sauce with the sour cream and buffalo wing sauce to coat the chicken completely and have a thicken sauce on the pizza. Typically, the heat from the buffalo sauce is counter balanced with the blue cheese dressing and celery. In this case, the sour cream cuts the heat. I didn’t want to add celery to the pizzas so I added avocado to represent the green you typically have on the plate.

  

Buffalo Chicken Pizza

*Serves 3*

Ingredients

  • 3 whole wheat pitas
  • 2 10 oz cans of white meat chicken, rinsed or 2 large breasts of cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup of buffalo wing sauce, I prefer Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce
  • 4 oz of sour cream
  • 12 oz part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 half of red onion sliced
  • 3 oz of blue cheese, crumbled
  • half an Hass avocado, diced
  • 3 scallions

Process

  1. Preheat oven to 425
  2. Split the pitas. Lay them out on a nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 5-8 minutes. They should be slightly crisp.
  3. While the pitas are baking, combine the chicken with sour cream, and buffalo wing sauce.
  4. Put 3 tablespoons of ricotta on each pita, spread out evenly.
  5. Divide the buffalo chicken evenly on the pitas.
  6. Sprinkle slices of onion and pieces of blue cheese evenly on each pita pizza.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the onions have shriveled and the blue cheese has melted.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes, then add pieces of avocado to the pizzas and cut some scallion on each pizza. Then cut each pita into 4 pieces.
