Honey Hot Chicken Salad

A mouth-watering salad packed with crisp veggies and tender, flavorful honey hot chicken. Perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch or dinner.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 2 large salads

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 2 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
• ¼ cup honey garlic sauce
• ¼ cup buffalo wing sauce (or plain hot sauce, such as Frank’s Red Hot)

For the Salad:

• 2 heads Romaine lettuce, chopped and washed
• 3–6 tablespoons ranch dressing or dressing of choice
• ½ medium red onion, diced
• 1 large red bell pepper, diced
• ½ large cucumber, diced
• Shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   In a small bowl, toss the diced cooked chicken with the honey garlic sauce and buffalo wing sauce until evenly coated.
2. Assemble the Salad Base:
   In a large bowl, combine the chopped Romaine with your choice of dressing and toss to coat.
3. Build the Salad:
   Divide the dressed Romaine between two plates or bowls. Top with diced red onion, bell pepper, cucumber, optional shredded cheese, and the honey hot chicken.
4. Serve Immediately:
   Enjoy fresh for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

• Use any kind of cooked chicken: grilled, shredded rotisserie, thighs, or even leftover turkey.
• For a vegan version, substitute crispy tofu for the chicken, use a plant-based dressing, and omit the cheese.
• This salad is best served immediately after assembling. To make ahead, store components separately and assemble just before eating.
• Adjust the spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of hot sauce used.
• Not a fan of honey garlic? Swap in homemade teriyaki sauce for a flavorful twist.
• Try using this mixture as a filling for wraps or hoagie rolls for a hearty sandwich.
