Chicken Tenders

Salad Assembly

Method

Prepare Chicken Tenders

  1. 1

    Coat the Chicken

    In three separate bowls, set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Season the flour with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken tender in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken tenders until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Make Buffalo Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine hot sauce, butter, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Heat over low until the butter melts and the mixture is well combined.

  2. 5

    Toss Chicken with Sauce

    Once the chicken tenders are cooked, add them to a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over them. Toss until the chicken is well coated.

Assemble Salad

  1. 6

    Prepare the Greens

    In a large bowl, chop the romaine lettuce and place it as the base for the salad.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Chop the tomato and red onion. Scatter the tomato, red onion, and crumbled blue cheese over the lettuce.

  3. 8

    Add Chicken

    Top the salad with the buffalo chicken tenders and serve immediately.
