I was looking for a quick and easy recipe last week to make for my husband, Nic. Nic has 2 great loves in food...spicy food and cheese. So when my Mom sent me this Buffalo Chicken Salad recipe I knew this was something that he would love. This salad only takes about 15 minutes start to finish and is actually pretty healthy considering the chicken is not breaded. I also made it with a yummy healthy blue cheese dressing that I found from SKINNYTASTE.com. I highly recommend trying this dressing because it is made with greek yogurt and only a tablespoon of mayo so it is a great alternative to high fat dressings you might purchase from the store.
You Will Need:
3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 heads of Romain Lettuce
2 Tablespoons of hot sauce, I suggest using Frank's (add more if you like it spicy)
2 Teaspoons of Olive Oil
4 Celery Stalks Chopped
2 Carrots Coarsely Grated
2 Scallions (chop only the green parts)
Preheat the broiler. Place chicken between 2 sheets of waxed paper and pound with a mallet (or cast iron skillet like I did...it gets the job done fast) until 3/4 inches thick. Cut the chicken into 1/2 inch thick strips and put in a bowl. Toss the chicken with the olive oil and hot sauce. Arrange on a foil lined baking sheet and broil until cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
In a large bowl combine lettuce, celery, carrots, and scallions. Toss with the dressing. Divide the greens between 4 plates and top with the chicken.
Makes 4 entree sized servings
So simple and so yummy! I know you will enjoy this recipe. My husband sure did...
