Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 1 Celery Stalk
  • 1 Red Onion
  • 1 Roma Tomato
  • 1 Romaine Heart
  • 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 tsp. Spicy Buffalo Seasoning
  • 11/2 oz. Gluten-Free Ranch Dressing
  • 1 oz. Blue Cheese

Directions

  1. Trim ends off celery and cut into ¼" dice. Halve and peel onion. Slice halves into thin strips. Core Roma tomato and cut into ½" dice. Hold romaine head at root end and chop coarsely. Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry, and season both sides with ¼ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

  2. Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add onions to hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 10-12 minutes. If pan becomes dry, add water 1 Tbsp. at a time. While onions caramelize, prepare Buffalo sauce.

  3. Combine seasoning blend and 2 tsp. olive oil in a small bowl.

  4. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat and coat surface with cooking spray. Add chicken to hot grill and cook until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 6-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken from grill and brush each side with Buffalo sauce (to taste, or serve on side).

  5. Place ranch dressing in a large mixing bowl. Add romaine, celery, and tomatoes to bowl and toss to combine.

  6. Place a serving of salad on a plate and top with cooked chicken breast. Garnish salad with blue cheese crumbles and caramelized onions.
