Buffalo Chicken Salad

Try this oh so yummy Buffalo chicken salad.  It has all the components of finger lickin' good Buffalo wings, but tossed together with a cool crunchy salad.

Ingredients:

• Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• Romaine lettuce (chopped)
• Red onion  (diced)
• Bleu cheese crumbles
• Celery (chopped)
• 1/2 cup Tapatio hot sauce
• 3 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter

                            

1. Making the buffalo sauce:  In a small sauce pan over medium heat combine three tablespoons of cold unsalted butter with a half cup of Tapatio hot sauce.  Stir until you get a well mixed consistency.  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Grill the chicken:  Season chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper and olive oil.  Set your propane grill to medium low heat and grill the chicken with the lid open.  Be sure to brush some olive oil onto the surface of the grill first to keep the chicken from sticking.  Turn the chicken every 5-10 minutes depending on the size of your chicken breast, I turn mine a total of 4 times.  When the chicken is nearly done or when the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F brush on the buffalo sauce, then turn the chicken one last time and brush sauce onto the other side.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Final assembly:  Combine chopped romaine lettuce, diced red onions, chopped celery, and bleu cheese crumbles with chilled sliced buffalo chicken breast.  Serve with bleu cheese or ranch salad dressing.
