Categories     main-dish

Time 46m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper hot sauce (or other hot sauce), plus more to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 hearts Romaine, cut into 1-inch strips (about 8 cups)
4 celery stalks, thinly sliced
2 carrots, coarsely grated
2 scallions, green part only, sliced
1/2 cup Blue Cheese Dressing, recipe follows
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 cup lowfat buttermilk
1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Put the chicken between 2 sheets of waxed paper and pound with a mallet or hammer so the chicken is an even thickness of about 3/4-inch, then cut the chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. In a large bowl, combine the hot sauce and the oil, add chicken and toss until the chicken is well coated. Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet and broil until it is cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes, turning once.
  • In a large bowl combine the Romaine, celery, shredded carrots and scallions. Toss with the dressing. Divide the greens between 4 plates, top with the chicken. Serve with extra hot sauce.
  • Fold a full sheet of paper towel into quarters and put it into a small bowl. Spoon the yogurt onto the paper towel and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to drain and thicken. In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk and thickened yogurt into the mayonnaise until smooth. Add the vinegar and sugar and continue to whisk until all the ingredients are well combined. Stir in the blue cheese and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

BUFFALO CHICKEN STRIPS WITH BLUE CHEESE SALAD

Although deep-frying requires cooking in a lot of oil, very little is absorbed by the chicken. The hot oil sears the exterior, sealing in juices and keeping out most of the fat in this delicious Buffalo Chicken Strips with Blue Cheese Salad recipe. It's just the thing to celebrate the Super Bowl or to serve at your next game night.

3 tablespoons ketchup
1 to 2 tablespoons hot sauce

Blue Cheese Salad

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in ketchup and hot sauce. Remove from heat; cover and reserve sauce.

BUFFALO CHICKEN STRIPS WITH BLUE CHEESE SALAD



Buffalo Chicken Strips With Blue Cheese Salad image

Yummy buffalo wings, with their sticky, buttery hot sauce are always a favorite of mine and my husband. Using strips instead of wings and including a salad instead of veggie sticks, this recipe is not only slighty more grown up like but less messy and easy to make at home. Instead of using pricey cutlets or tenders, you cut breasts into strips.
