- 0.33 cup Hot sauce
- 1 head, chopped Romaine lettuce
- 2 medium, shredded Carrots
- 3 medium, chopped Celery stalks

- 0.25 cup Paleo mayonnaise

Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they are fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes. Once cooled slightly, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the hot sauce, Paleo mayonnaise, cider vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to create the buffalo sauce.
Toss the cooked chicken pieces in the buffalo sauce until they are well coated.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, chopped celery, red onion, diced avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Add the buffalo chicken to the salad and gently toss to mix all the ingredients together.
Serve the salad immediately while the chicken is warm. Enjoy a hearty, spicy, and nutritious Paleo Buffalo Chicken Salad!
