1/4               cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4               cup buttermilk
1/4               cup mayonnaise
1                  tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese
1                  tablespoon minced chives
1-1/2            teaspoons lemon juice

1 .      In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the first five ingredients to a boil; boil, uncovered, for 1 minute. Cool for 10 minutes; set aside 1/2 cup for basting.
2 .      Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3 .      Drain and discard marinade from chicken. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. In a small bowl, combine the blue cheese, buttermilk, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, chives, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and pepper. Spread over roll bottoms; top with the chicken, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion. Replace roll tops.
Enjoy with a light-bodied white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
