Buffalo Chicken Salad Bowls Recipes

BUFFALO CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, carefully slice the chicken breast in half from top to bottom---meaning you'll have two similarly-sized chicken breasts that are much thinner.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken breast pieces and pan-fry them on both sides until they're done. Get as much golden brown color on the chicken as you can. When done, remove the chicken from the skillet and pour off any excess fat or oil (but don't clean the pan).
• Return the chicken to the skillet and pour over the hot sauce. Turn the chicken to coat it on both sides and let it sit in the sauce while you prepare the other ingredients. (The heat should not be on under the skillet.)
• Toss the salad greens in a large bowl with just enough Fast Blue Cheese Dressing to lightly coat (thin the dressing with a little milk if it's too gloopy). Heap some tossed salad into two individual bowls. Sprinkle blue cheese crumbles over the top. Slice the chicken into thin slices (on the bias) and arrange them over the top of each salad. (Dip the slices back into the sauce if necessary to really coat them.)
• Top the whole thing with more blue cheese crumbles, and serve with celery hearts.
• To a bowl add the mayo, milk, sour cream and Worcestershire, and stir until combined. Stir in the blue cheese and add salt and pepper to taste.

BUFFALO CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the hot pepper sauce. Add the chicken and toss. Transfer the chicken to a broiler pan and sprinkle on both sides with the paprika and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Broil 6 inches from the heat, turning once, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cooked through. Place on a plate to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, cut into bite-size pieces.
• Meanwhile, prepare the celery, carrots and scallions, and put them in a large salad bowl, tossing well to combine.
• In a blender or mini food processor, combine the blue cheese, milk, yogurt, vinegar, remaining 2 teaspoons oil, remaining 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. (If there are any juices on the chicken plate, add them in.) Process until smooth.
• Add the dressing, chicken and lettuce to the salad bowl, tossing gently to combine. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

BAKED BUFFALO CHICKEN POTATO BOWL FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Prick each potato several times with a fork. Microwave potatoes for 5 minutes, turn, and continue to cook in the microwave until tender, about 5 minutes more.
• Grill chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let cool 10 minutes; cut into strips.
• Place grilled chicken strips into a zip-top bag. Pour Buffalo sauce over chicken; seal bag and shake until evenly coated.
• Cut open potatoes and place in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Place grilled chicken on top of potatoes.
• Pour corn into a microwave-safe bowl; add butter and garlic powder and stir to combine. Microwave corn mixture until warm, about 5 minutes.
• Pour corn on top of chicken and top with Cheddar cheese. Microwave once more until cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
