Sautéed Buffalo Chicken Breasts With Blue Cheese Toasts. New Music From Fractions.

These were some mighty fine Buffalo chicken breasts. By simmering the breasts in a mixture of chicken broth and hot sauce, they become infused with flavor. A quick sauté makes the outside a bit crisp, while the inside gets all tender from simmering in the sauce. The sprinkle of celery adds crunch and the buttery blue cheese toasts are the perfect accompaniment.
