- 2 tablespoons buffalo sauce (we use Franks)
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 2 teaspoons ketchup (optional, for less spicy)
- salt, to taste For the Salad
- 1 romaine heart, rinsed and choppe
- 1/2 cup shredded carrot or cabbage
- 1/4 cup blue cheese
- 1 celery stalk, sliced
- 2 slices sourdough bread (optional, for croutons)
- Ranch Dressing, to taste (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Step 1: If making the optional croutons, toast the sourdough slices in a toaster or in the oven broiler. If using a broiler, keep an eye on it and flip the bread after the first 1 to 2 minutes to avoid burning. Chop or tear the toasted bread into bite-sized pieces and drizzle with some olive oil.
- Step 2: Divide the chopped romaine into plates or bowls. Top with the shredded carrot or cabbage, celery, and optional croutons.
- Step 3: Shred the chicken with two forks. Warm a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, butter, and optional ketchup. Season with salt. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until warmed through and saucy.
- Serve: Divide the warm buffalo chicken over the salads. Top with blue cheese and a generous drizzle of ranch.
