# Ingredients:
→ Protein
01 -
2 chicken breasts, cooked and cut into small cubes

02 -
60 ml buffalo sauce or your go-to hot sauce
03 -
60 ml honey garlic blend
→ Greens

2 romaine lettuce heads, washed and cut up
→ Dressings
05 -
45-90 ml ranch or whichever creamy dressing you prefer
→ Vegetables
06 -
1/2 large cucumber, chopped up
07 -
1 red bell pepper, diced
08 -
1/2 medium red onion, minced
→ Topping
09 -
A little shredded cheese on top if you want
# Instructions:
01 -
Pile the hot honey chicken on top right before serving. That way, everything stays fresh and tasty.
02 -
Scatter chunks of cucumber, pieces of bell pepper, some red onion, and a sprinkle of cheese, if you're into it, over each plate.
03 -
Share the dressed salad greens evenly between two bowls or large plates.
04 -
Grab a big bowl and mix your chopped lettuce with the ranch or whatever creamy thing you picked. Make sure it's all coated.
05 -
In a smaller bowl, add chopped chicken, honey garlic, and buffalo sauce together. Mix everything until the chicken is totally saucy.
# Notes:
01 -
Whipping up buffalo and honey garlic sauces at home really makes the flavors pop. Keep your parts separate till chow time, handy for prepping lunches.
02 -
Chicken thighs, store-bought rotisserie, or spare turkey all work great instead of breasts.
03 -
To skip animal stuff, swap in crispy tofu, go cheese-free, and use a creamy vegan drizzle.
04 -
Go wild with the amount or kind of hot sauce depending on your spice comfort zone.
05 -
This mix totally works inside a wrap or between sandwich bread.
06 -
Try teriyaki instead of honey garlic for a new twist.
