Buffalo Chicken Salad topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, cut into 4 pieces
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup hot sauce
- 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 600g)
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 4 stalks celery, thinly sliced + 1/4 cup chopped celery leaves
- A quarter of a small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
Preparation:
- Preheat the grill to high heat. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and hot sauce. Transfer half of the mixture to a small bowl and place it next to the grill for brushing. Brush the chicken with olive oil and grill until grill marks appear on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
- Flip and brush evenly with the hot sauce mixture. Continue grilling, turning and brushing with sauce as needed, until the chicken is cooked through, another 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Toss with the reserved hot sauce mixture.
- Blend 3/4 cup blue cheese and sour cream in a blender until smooth. Add half of the blue cheese dressing to the bowl with the chicken, add the chopped celery and celery leaves, red onion, and carrots, and mix well.
- Arrange the lettuce wedges and chicken salad among plates. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup blue cheese.
