Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 35m

Yield 1 1 salad, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 carrot
2 romaine lettuce hearts, leaves separated
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh dill, snipped
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons louisiana hot sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1/3 cup blue cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat barbecue to medium. Peel long ribbons from carrot into a large bowl, turning as you go. Add lettuce leaves and celery. Whisk milk with mayo, dill, vinegar, and garlic in a small bowl. Stir hot sauce with butter and honey in a large bowl. Set both aside.
  • Oil grill, then barbecue chicken, covered, until springy when pressed, six to eight minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 1/2 - inch thick strips. Add to hot-sauce mixture and turn to coat. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss until coated. Top with chicken and cheese.
  • I didn't happen to have romaine, so I used iceberg. Also, no blue cheese, so feta was substituted. We like things hot, so I didn't put the butter or honey in the hot sauce. I used Frank's Red Hot, right out of the bottle.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken should be cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Make sure the dressing is well-balanced. The dressing should not be too tart or too sweet. It should be creamy and flavorful.
  • Add the toppings just before serving. This will help to prevent them from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

The grilled buffalo chicken cobb salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its combination of grilled buffalo chicken, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, blue cheese, and tomatoes, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
