18 Reviews of Buffalo Chicken Salad

I loved this salad! I used buffalo wing sauce I had on hand in place of hot sauce and cut butter and oil in half to cut calories. My family doesn't like blue cheese so I made theirs without and added crumbled blue to mine. I loved how the cheese melted into the salad and became part of the dressing. Yum. Will definately make this again.

I made this for my lunch. This cooked fast since the chicken was in little pieces. I used a ranch dressing and feta cheese. Next time I will make for the whole family. Roxygirl

WOW this was so good. Very easy, and very filling. I used Justin Wilson's buffalo sauce and it tasted just like something you would get in a restaurant. Thanks for sharing.

I LOVE this salad!!! I mix the lettuce, carrots and celery together, top it with the chicken and sauce, and finish with Litehouse Jalapeno Ranch dressing. (I prefer this to the recipe dressing since I'm not a fan of blue cheese.) Thanks for posting!

This is a winner, Kelbel! This recipe was so easy and fast, the taste really was "kapow! I had chicken tenderloins, and cooked them as ~Nimz~ had suggested, reducing the oil, in fact; I used a non stick skillet and sprayed the chicken with a hint of cooking spray. Added coarse ground pepper and course ground sea salt that adhered to the tenderloins beautifully. Browned on one side in about 4 minutes (over medium heat) turned over, sprayed a bit and continued for another 2 minutes. I added the celery, low fat blue cheese dressing and a couple of chopped walnuts. I used a medium hot sauce for Dennis, (the Jalapeno Tabasco) and I used XXX Hot Habanero Sauce for mine. Thank you for posting such a delightful, quick and easy recipe, that can be heat adjusted.

We loved this. The kids are not crazy about blue cheese, so I left it out of the dressing and just crumbled it on the top of mine and hubby's. A really easy lite dinner.

This is absolutely wonderful. The hot and spicy chicken with the cool ranch/blue cheese dressing really compliment each other so well. The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star is all the oil and butter. I just don't think it is needed and adds to the calorie and fat content. When searing the chicken it was just drowning in the oil, so I drained all of it and stir fried the pieces and it worked great. I used a Cajun hot sauce which was just wonderful. Left out the celery for personal preferences. The sauce clung to the chicken perfectly. I plan on making this again next weekend. Thanks KelBel for a new favorite.

SUPER yummy. DH and I BOTH loved it. I grilled my chicken breasts on my George Foreman, tossed it with the hot sauce (I swear by Frank's Hot Suace for Chicken Wings) and actually threw it in a container and int he fridge for a quick meal later tonight. Just reheated for a minute or two in the microwave, chopped/grated the veggies and threw the salad together. VERY quick and SUPER tasty. Next time I may serve it with some cheese quesadillas or something, just because salads don't tend to fill us up "all night" (and we end up snacking later on). Will DEFINATELY be making this again.
