Buffalo Chicken Salad

I got inspired by Elie Krieger's Buffalo Chicken Salad, but I didn't have all the ingredients found in the recipe. I just made the most of what I have in my depleted pantry (no grocery for a week due to our hospital stay!).

Simple Buffalo Chicken Salad



Ingredients

* 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
* Hearts of Romaine Lettuce cut into 1-inch strips
* 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
* Half a carrot, coarsely grated
* 1/2 cup Blue Cheese Dressing - store-bought

Directions

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, and shredded carrots. Toss with the dressing. Add the chicken pieces. Serve with extra hot sauce.
