Step 1: Dressing ... Add the blue cheese dressing, sour cream, and celery in a small bowl or measuring cup and mix to well. Refrigerate until ready to use. You can always make your own blue cheese dressing if you want. This is just the easy way.
Step 2: Salad ... Cut the lettuce into wedges and thin slice or shred. Add to a bowl along with the carrots and onions and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 3: Sauce ... Add the butter, hot sauce, garlic powder and worcestershire to a measuring cup, mix, and microwave 2-3 minutes on medium heat until heated through and the butter has completely melted. One half (1/2) will be used for the chicken, and 1/2 will be used to brush on the rolls.
Step 4: Chicken ... Shred the chicken using a fork and add to a small pot. Add half or a bit more of the sauce, and mix to combine. Bring to medium heat and cook 4-5 minutes until the chicken and sauce are warm.
Step 5: Bread ... Whether you use a 36" long roll, or 4 individual rolls, it doesn't matter - it is the same method. Cut the rolls in half lengthwise, then lightly brush the melted (butter hot sauce) mix on the inside and outside of the rolls. Add to a sheet plan lined with parchment paper or foil, and bake in a 400 degree preheated oven (middle shelf) for 5-7 minutes until golden brown on each side. The sauce will help the roll to brown, and crisp up.
Step 6: Sandwich ... Add the chicken to the bottom of the toasted roll, top with the cheese, and put under the broiler for just a minute to melt the cheese. Then, top with the lettuce carrot onion salad, and the dressing. Top with the top roll, and secure with tooth pics before slicing.
Step 7: Serve and ENJOY! Slice and serve with your favorites. I love fries, onion rings, chips, pickles, etc. As I said, this makes a great party food, tailgate, game day; but, also great for a family - lunch or dinner. I have made this for friends with a bowl of soup and fries for a nice relaxing dinner. Remember, you don't have to entertain with fancy food - sometimes soup and sandwiches are just the ticket.
