Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder, divided

  3. Chop the vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, toss together the chopped romaine lettuce, diced avocado, tomato wedges, sliced red onion, carrot slices, and celery.
  4. Slice the chicken: Slice the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl. Drizzle with buffalo sauce and gently toss until coated.
  5. Final touches: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 tsp of garlic powder over the salad and mix gently. Plate in serving bowls.
