Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 2 stalks celery
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.5 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 0.25 cup blue cheese dressing
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Start by preheating your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Brush each chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on the grill.
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
In a small bowl, mix the sliced chicken with the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
Rinse and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Thinly slice the celery and red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Add the celery, cherry tomatoes, and red onion to the salad bowl with the lettuce.
Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients.
Arrange the buffalo chicken slices on top of the salad.
Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the salad.
Drizzle the blue cheese dressing over the top, or serve it on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb buffalo chicken salad!
