Equipment

Instructions

  • Gather cooked chicken, hot sauce, greens, veggies, blue cheese, and dressing ingredients, and prep everything for quick assembly.
  • Mix shredded chicken with hot sauce until evenly coated and let it sit briefly.
  • Layer greens, celery, tomatoes, and cucumber, then top with buffalo chicken and blue cheese.
  • Whisk olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until combined.
  • Drizzle dressing, toss gently, and serve fresh.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked chicken to save time: Leftover rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken works great and soaks up buffalo sauce easily.
  • What to Add: Cold, crisp romaine lettuce adds extra crunch and balances the spicy chicken. You can also make this recipe with greek yogurt, cilantro, and garlic powder for a flavorful mix.
  • Toss the hot sauce just before serving: This keeps the chicken juicy but prevents your salad from getting soggy.
  • Mix up your toppings: Crumbled blue cheese, avocado slices, or a drizzle of ranch dressing can level up your bowl fast.
