So you liked the chicken salad?

It's football season and what football season isn't complete without chicken wings? Well, I do have a recipe for those, but as promised, I'd like to share my very own Buffalo Chicken Salad recipe. P.S. I'll post the wing recipe before the Superbowl!

This is a variation on the Happy New Year Chicken Salad that was posted last week. Like that salad, this one can be made so that you stick to your New Year's resolution. However, the recipe here is for the full-on version. Proceed with caution.

You can find all of the ingredients locally with the exception of the wing sauce. I'm lucky enough to bring it from the states in my suitcase and have family send it to me (thanks bro!). If you don't have wing sauce, you can make an easy hot BBQ sauce that works just as well. Mix 1/3 cup BBQ sauce with any ol' hot sauce...add amount to taste.

Buffalo Chicken Salad

1 package chicken breasts
1 head of lettuce, torn into pieces
Carrots
Celery
Ranch dressing or Blue Cheese dressing
1 package of blue cheese, crumbled

Cook chicken breasts in pan. While chicken is cooking, arrange lettuce in individual bowls. Top lettuce with celery sticks and carrots. I like to use the peeler and peel strips of carrot into the individual bowls. Once chicken is cooked, use knife and fork to cut chicken into bit sized pieces. Put pieces in a separate bowl with lid and pour about 1/3 -1/2 cup wing sauce onto the chicken. Put the lid on the bowl and shake to cover chicken with sauce. Divide chicken into bowls. Finally, add dressing and a little crumbled blue cheese.

Seriously, this has got to be one of the easiest meal salads I've ever made. If your family likes chicken wings, make this and see what they think.

Oh, and Go Cowboys!
