Ingredients

Cilantro-Lime Mayo:

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons lime juice
5 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 clove garlic minced

Spicy Chicken Sandwiches:

1 egg lightly whisked
3 tablespoons buffalo sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 (8 oz each) boneless chicken breasts
4 1/2 ounces tortilla chips (about 6 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 Kaiser rolls
red onion slices
torn lettuce leaves

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt and lime juice and stir until smooth. Stir in the cilantro and garlic. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons lime juice, 5 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1 clove garlic
Combine the egg, buffalo sauce, oregano and salt in a gallon sized ziplock bag. Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally, making 4 thinner pieces of chicken. Add them to the bag and seal. Refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
1 egg, 3 tablespoons buffalo sauce, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 (8 oz each) boneless chicken breasts
Place the tortilla chips in a food processor and process until crumbs. Place in a shallow dish.
4 1/2 ounces tortilla chips
Working with one piece of chicken at a time, remove from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Coat the chicken in the crushed tortilla chips. Set aside and continue with the remaining chicken.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 3 minutes, then turn and cook the second side until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 more minutes.
2 tablespoons olive oil
To serve, spread the Cilantro-Lime Mayo on the bottom of each of the rolls. Top with red onions, lettuce, and a piece of chicken. Spread some more of the mayo on the top half of the roll and place on top of the chicken.
