Units Scale

For the chicken

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey

For the Salad

  • 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 4 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 small English cucumber, diced
  • 3 carrots, diced
  • 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese

For the Dressing

  • 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking tray with avocado oil spray.
  2. Cut your chicken into 2-inch pieces and place them in a medium bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, onion powder, garlic salt, sea salt, freshly
    ground black pepper and all-purpose flour. Pour this mixture onto the chicken pieces and toss to evenly coat them.
  4.  Place the chicken pieces on the prepared baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes, turning
    the chicken pieces over half way through the baking time.
  5. Meanwhile, chop your salad ingredients and whisk together the dressing ingredients.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the buffalo sauce, melted butter, and honey.
  7. When the chicken is finished cooking, allow to cool a few minutes, and then place the
    pieces in a clean bowl. Top with the buffalo sauce mixture and stir to evenly coat the chicken pieces. Optional: chop the chicken pieces into smaller pieces for serving.
  8. To assemble, distribute the salad ingredients and chicken pieces evenly between 4-6
    plates. Top with the Greek yogurt Ranch dressing. Enjoy!
