My favourite way to get some protein is to eat chicken. It is safe to say that we probably eat chicken at least three to four times a week in our house and if you ask my youngest he will tell you it is his favourite too. Not pizza or burgers or even tacos. Chicken. He adores chicken. So, it is important for us to find different ways to dress it up from time to time. What better way than to combine it with a great tasting salad that has some zip to it! May I introduce you to this delicious Buffalo Chicken Salad. 🙂
It is super easy to prepare and can be done in less than half an hour. You probably have most, if not all of the ingredients on hand already. It is great for making ahead for lunch the next day and if you are so inclined you can even fill up a pita with this salad or add it to a wrap! My hubby loves it this way.
Buffalo Chicken Salad
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts, skin removed
- 1/2 cup buffalo-style hot sauce
- 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 2 beefsteak tomatoes, diced
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- Cheese, optional garnish
- Ranch dressing, optional
1)Place the chicken and the hot sauce in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F, approximately 12 minutes.
2)Remove from heat and shred the chicken using two forks.
3)Toss all salad ingredients together and serve while the chicken is still warm.
This will serve two to three people, depending on their appetite.:-) So, there you have it, lunch or dinner for today is served. Bon appetite!

This recipe is awesome because it looks delicious but it’s also easy to make. I would like to know what kind of hot sauce you used ?
Another great recipe !
Sounds and looks like a very yummy salad, Going to put it on the menu for this week. Thanks for the recipe.
This looks so delicious. I have to try making it.
I’m afraid it’s the zip (as in hot/spicy) that I can’t eat at all. Otherwise I enjoy a nice salad, a Greek one is my favourite at the moment.
Lean, organic beef is my favourite source of protein, but I like chicken and fish too. This looks like a great recipe; I like my food spicy!
I often add deli chicken (shaved) to my salads at lunchtime. This looks really yummy – definitely pinning.
My favorite source of protein is also chicken. I like the fact that it is mostly lean protein and it can be served so many ways. Thank you for this delicious recipe.

I guess that I could replace the buffalo-style hot sauce with a sweet and sour sauce, couldn’t I, I like that. 🙂
