Ingredients

• 220 g chicken breast
• 1 small head romaine
• 1/2 large cucumber
• 1 large carrot
• 150 g cherry tomatoes
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp chili flakes
• 120 g Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp hot sauce
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp sliced spring onion
• 20 g blue cheese

Method

1. Step 1

   Cut the 220 g chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and pat the pieces dry with paper towels.

2. Step 2

   Season the chicken breast with 1 tsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp chili flakes, then cook it in a hot pan until browned and cooked through. Let it rest while you build the salad.

3. Step 3

   Chop the romaine (1 small head), dice the cucumber (1/2 large), cut the carrot into matchsticks (1 large), and halve the cherry tomatoes (150 g).

4. Step 4

   In a jar or bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the buffalo ranch yogurt dressing until smooth and glossy.

5. Step 5

   Add the greens and prepared vegetables to a large bowl and toss lightly with half of the dressing.

6. Step 6

   Slice or flake the cooked chicken breast and place it on top of the salad. Add any warm ingredients last so the greens stay fresh.

7. Step 7

   Spoon over the remaining dressing, add spring onion and blue cheese, and serve right away.
