Crunchy Buffalo Chicken Salad
Tuesday, September 17, 2013From our skinny table to yours...
We loved our Crunchy Buffalo Tuna Salad so much we decided to whip up this little delight up with shredded chicken! Our Crunchy Buffalo Chicken Salad is definitely worth trying. We are swapping out the mayo for a combination of Frank's buffalo sauce and non-fat plain Greek yogurt. Can we say YUM!
We made a nice big batch of this so we could enjoy this for lunch all week long! We started off by boiling up a pound of organic chicken breast and then simply shredded the chicken apart. If you are short on time, feel free to use the breast meat from a rotisserie chicken and you will be eating in no time at all!
The crunchiness in the salad comes from chunks of both celery and carrots! We added in another flavor punch with our favorite herb, cilantro!
We piled our buffalo chicken salad up over a bed of fresh spinach! A 100 calorie wheat sandwich bun would also be another great option!
Hope you enjoy :)
