Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 2 - 2 ½ pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs or breast halves

  • 1 14.5 ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 cup sliced celery

  • 1 cup buffalo wing sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot

  • 16 sweet Hawaiian rolls or slider buns, split

  • Blue cheese salad dressing

Directions

  1. In a 12-inch skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, half at a time, and cook 8 minutes or until browned, turning once.
