Buffalo Chicken Salad

June 29, 2011 by Katie 1 Comment

Tonight, I made a buffalo chicken salad for dinner.  (My sister’s wedding is in less than 2 weeks, so there will be a lot of salad until then!)  I checked out a few different recipes this afternoon (1 from Food Network Magazine, 1 from Rachael Ray, and 1 from Ellie Kreiger), and took ideas from all 3 of them.

Start by prepping all the veggies and the meat…

  • Slice and wash 3 heads of romaine lettuce.  (Iceberg would work too.)

  • Cut up 1 cucumber, 2 stalks of celery, 2 carrots (don’t forget to peel them!), a yellow pepper, and a bunch of scallions.  (Feel free to use any veggies that you like, but I can’t imagine buffalo chicken without carrots and celery!!)

  • Chop 4 cloves of garlic.

  • Trim and cut 1 pound of chicken tenderloins into bite-size pieces.  (Use a different knife and cutting board!)

Next, cook the meat…

  • Heat a skillet of medium-high heat.
  • Add about 1-2 tablespoons of canola oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.

  • Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and saute for a few minutes.

  • When the garlic is golden, add the chicken.

  • Cook the chicken (turning it) until golden brown.

  • Once the chicken is golden brown, add about 1/3 cup of buffalo sauce.

  • Let the chicken cook in the sauce until it thickens and is almost completely evaporated.  (Remember to stir occasionally!)

It should look like this when it’s done:

  • While the chicken is cooking, assembly the salad.  (I threw in a couple of tomatoes at the last minute, chopped and seeded.)

To serve, I kept the chicken separate from the salad.  I dressed my salad on my plate with blue cheese dressing, and then topped it with the chicken.

The chicken had great flavor (even though I forgot to season it!!)  Next time, I will season it with black pepper.  It doesn’t really need salt.  This was a satisfying meal, even though it was just a salad.  Enjoy!
