Buffalo Chicken Ingredients

Method

Buffalo Chicken Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Start by marinating the chicken breasts in olive oil and blackening seasoning. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and charred. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, organic shredded kale, diced tomatoes, and julienned raw carrots. Toss gently to mix.

  4. 4

    Add the Chicken and Toppings

    Slice the cooked chicken breasts and add them to the salad base. Top with crumbled blue cheese, pickled onions, chopped cilantro, and garlic breadcrumbs.

  5. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle Caesar dressing and Sweetgreen hot sauce over the salad. Toss everything together gently to coat the ingredients evenly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Divide the salad into serving bowls and enjoy your Buffalo Chicken salad immediately.
