Buffalo chicken salad with blue cheese dressing

Buffalo wings are awesome, but they are loaded with tons of calories and fat. Just 2 to 3 tiny pieces can have enough calories as a normal indian meal. I came across a show on fit TV where the host of the show was talking about this low fat buffalo chicken salad, and I wanted to try it immediately. It really is a very easy and tasty salad. I did cheat with a store bought low fat blue cheese dressing that I had in my pantry. Here's the recipe:


Boneless skinless chicken breasts - 2
Hot sauce (Not the chinese variety, the american one) - 2 to 3 tbsp
Butter - 1 tbsp
Iceberg lettuce - 1/2
Celery stalks - 1
Red onion - 1/2
Blue cheese dressing - 1/2 cup

Grill the chicken breasts with some salt and pepper and cut into bite sized pieces. In a pan, add the butter and the hot sauce. When the butter melts, add the chicken and mix well. Stir till completely coated. Now, roughly chop the lettuce and celery and slice the onion really thin. Toss the salad with the dressing and top with the chicken. Serve with extra hot sauce. A really easy and flavorful dish.
