Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon taco seasoning
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons minced chives
  • 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice

The marinade is awesome. The chicken is very flavorful. I skip the homemade dressing and opt for store bought blue cheese or ranch dressing to save time.
