Buffalo Chicken Salad
- 1 whole Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 cups Louisiana Hot Sauce (Frank's, Etc.)
- Salad Greens: Iceberg, Romaine, Mixed Greens
- 1/2 cups Blue Cheese Dressing
- Extra Blue Cheese Crumbles
- Celery Hearts, Leaves Intact
- 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 olive oil and butter 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 it's done, remove the chicken from the skillet and pour off any excess fat/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. (Heat should not be on under the skillet.)
- Toss the lettuce in a large bowl with just enough salad dressing to lightly coat it (thin the dressing with a little milk if it's too gloopy.) Heap 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.
