Peel, halve, and small dice onions.

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add onion, chicken, carrots, and salt; cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until the carrots are softened and chicken is browned and crumbly, 6-7 minutes.

Wash, dry, trim, and quarter cucumbers lengthwise; cut crosswise into 3-inch long pieces. Add to the plate with the celery and set aside.

When the chicken is done, add tomato sauce and hot sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine and continue to cook until heated through, 1-2 minutes more. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, toast buns if desired.

Place bottom half of each bun on a plate. Top with saucy chicken and blue cheese, then close with the top half of each bun. Serve with veggies and dressing on the side. Enjoy!
