Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Buffalo Chicken Salad
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken breast (420 g)
  • ½ cup crumbled low-fat cottage cheese 113 g
  • ½ cup Frank’s Buffalo sauce 120 g
  • ½ cup plain low-fat yogurt 120 g
  • 4 large romaine lettuce leaves washed and dried
  • ½ cup thinly sliced celery 50 g
  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion 40 g
  • 1 tsp salt 5 g
  • ½ tsp black pepper 2 g
  • 1 tsp blue cheese dressing powder optional, 5 g

Instructions

  • Begin by combining the yogurt and Frank’s Buffalo sauce in a large mixing bowl, whisking until smooth.
  • Stir in the salt, black pepper, and blue cheese powder (if using), followed by the crumbled cottage cheese, mixing gently to maintain some texture.
  • Once the base is well blended, add the shredded chicken, diced red onion, and sliced celery. Use a spatula to fold everything together, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated and the vegetables are distributed throughout. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed—add a pinch more salt or a dash of hot sauce for extra heat.
  • To serve, arrange the romaine lettuce leaves on a platter or individual plates, creating a "boat" shape. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture generously into each lettuce leaf, dividing it equally among the four servings.
  • For a finishing touch, drizzle a teaspoon of extra Buffalo sauce over the top or sprinkle with additional blue cheese powder. This salad is best enjoyed immediately, but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days (store lettuce separately to keep it crisp).
