Grilled buffalo chicken salad is made with grilled marinated buffalo chicken, tons of veggies, and Greek yogurt blue cheese dressing.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the Buffalo Chicken
- 1.5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 medium breasts)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup Frank's Hot Sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- salt and pepper to taste
For the Salad
- 1 medium cucumber sliced into half-moons
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 large apple chopped
- 4-6 heaping cups of romaine lettuce
- 1/2 medium red onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing any store-bought is fine
Instructions
- First, preheat the grill to 400ºF - 425ºF.
- Then, prepare the buffalo chicken marinade by melting 3 tablespoons of butter. Then, mix in hot sauce and maple syrup.
- Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and then place the chicken in a gallon-size bag. Pour the marinade on top and remove as much air from the bag as possible and seal. Let marinate in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
- Once the grill has preheated. Spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Grill chicken for around 7-8 minutes over direct heat on each side. Coating it with any excess marinade before you flip.
- Once the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165ºF and has nice grill marks, remove it from the grill. Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Make your salad by placing sliced chicken and all of your veggies on top of a bed of romaine lettuce. Then, drizzle on blue cheese dressing and serve immediately.
Notes
- Method- if you'd rather cook your chicken without a grill feel free to follow our pan-seared chicken recipe or baked chicken breast method instead.
