Ingredients
- 2 medium chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 5 tablespoons buffalo sauce (choose spicy, medium or mild based on your preference)
- 1 cup grapeseed oil (good for frying due to it's high flash point)
- 1 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup panko crumbs
- 1 egg (beaten with a fork)
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- ½ cucumber (peeled, thinly sliced)
- 1 carrot (peeled, thinly sliced)
- 1 sprinkle gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
- 1 drizzle blue cheese salad dressing
- 2 stalks celery (sliced in half lengthwise, and horizontally)
Directions
Buffalo Chicken
Step 1
Thinly slice chicken breasts, and cook on grilling pan over stove-top until almost fully cooked.
Step 2
Add the Buffalo sauce to chicken, and turn heat down to low and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Fried Onions
Step 4
Separate sliced onions into individual rings and coat with the beaten egg.
Step 5
Once fully coated with egg mixture, press the onions into the Panko crumbs (both side of onion).
Step 6
Heat the Grapeseed Oil in a pan on Medium heat until it appears more liquified. Carefully place the onions in the hot oil and fry them until they're golden brown (both sides).
Step 7
Remove browned (and deliciously crispy) onions from pan, and place on a few paper towels to soak up the extra oil.
Step 8
Set aside.
Salad
Step 9
Assemble the salad by plating in layers. First the lettuce, then the cucumber and carrots, followed by the gorgonzola.
Step 10
Place Buffalo chicken strips on top of the bed of vegetables.
Step 11
Top the chicken with the fried onions.
Step 12
Drizzle just a bit of blue cheese salad dressing and some additional Buffalo sauce over the top, and place celery alongside the salad.
