Instructions
1
Preheat your indoor grill according to the manufacturer's instructions, setting it for chicken breast cooking.
2
Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and paprika. Drizzle with olive oil and rub the spices into the chicken for even flavor distribution.
3
Once the grill is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring that the chicken remains tender and juicy.
4
While the chicken is grilling, in a medium bowl, mix together the bleu cheese, reduced-fat cream cheese, and thinly sliced scallions until well combined. Set aside for later use.
5
In a small saucepan, combine the cayenne pepper sauce and butter over low heat, stirring until the butter is completely melted and the sauce is warmed through.
6
Heat a griddle or a non-stick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Slice the sandwich buns in half and place them cut side down on the skillet. Toast until lightly browned and crispy, then remove from heat.
7
To assemble the sandwiches, spread the bleu cheese mixture generously over the bottom half of each bun. Take a grilled chicken breast and coat it thoroughly in the prepared hot pepper sauce before placing it on top of the bleu cheese spread. Finish by adding the top half of the bun.
