Salad Components

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 cups fresh lettuce, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Ensure the chicken is fully cooked either by roasting, boiling, or using pre-cooked store-bought chicken, then shred or dice into bite-sized pieces for easy mixing and eating.
  2. Toss with Buffalo Sauce: Place the cooked chicken in a bowl and evenly coat it with buffalo sauce, mixing gently to cover all pieces with a spicy, tangy flavor.
  3. Assemble and Serve: Lay the chopped lettuce evenly on a serving plate or bowl and top with the buffalo chicken mixture. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crisp texture of the lettuce combined with the warm, spicy chicken.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce according to preferred spice level.
  • Add additional toppings such as celery, blue cheese crumbles, or ranch dressing for extra flavor variation.
  • To keep it low carb, avoid adding croutons or bread on the side.
