Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Rub 2 large chicken breasts with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 2: Remove chicken from oven and shred with two forks. Toss shredded chicken with 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce until evenly coated and set aside.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups shredded green cabbage, 1 shredded medium carrot, 1/3 cup blue cheese crumbles, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1 tsp honey. Mix until slaw is creamy and well combined.
Step 4: Toast 4 hamburger buns lightly. Pile each bottom bun with a generous portion of buffalo pulled chicken, then top with a heaping spoonful of blue cheese slaw. Cover with top bun and serve immediately.
