Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 large celery stalks, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup blue cheese crumbles or cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Remove chicken from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Chop into bite-sized cubes and toss with buffalo sauce.
  3. Prepare vegetables: chop romaine, dice celery, halve tomatoes, and finely chop red onion. Shred carrots if not already done.
  4. In a large salad bowl, combine all chopped vegetables. Toss to distribute evenly.
  5. Add buffalo-coated chicken on top, sprinkle with blue cheese, and drizzle ranch dressing. Toss before serving.
