Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Once cooled, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, mix the buffalo sauce, Greek yogurt, and mayonnaise until well combined.
Fold in the diced chicken, celery, red onion, carrots, and blue cheese crumbles. Stir until the ingredients are evenly coated in the buffalo sauce mixture.
Assemble your sandwich or pita by layering a piece of romaine lettuce in the sandwich bread or inside the pita pocket.
Spoon a generous amount of the buffalo chicken salad onto the lettuce.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
