BUFFALO CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE

BUFFALO CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE

Ingredients

1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/2 cup Ranch-style salad dressing
3 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce
1 tablespoon salad seasoning mix (such as McCormick® Salad Supreme Seasoning)
2 heads romaine lettuce, chopped

Directions

In a small bowl, combine crumbled blue cheese and Ranch-style dressing; set aside. Season cubed chicken with salt and pepper.

Heat a large skillet over high heat, and pour in the vegetable oil. Just before the oil starts to smoke, add the chicken. Cook to brown evenly, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and add butter, hot sauce, and salad seasoning mix. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Toss together the lettuce and Ranch-style dressing mixture in a large bowl. Top salad with chicken, and serve.

COOKING FOR AN IMPORTANT PERSON

I am right here in my restaurant kitchen, reviewing the recipe books that I posses as a chef. These recipe books that I have are all very important to me because I learn so much by reading and cooking the recipe that I like to cook. Aside from the review right now, I am also looking for recipes that I will be cooking because the Italian Culinary School Dean will be visiting the city and I was the one appointed by the chef experts to cook for his arrival in the city.

I am looking for a local recipe that would make a good impression of our city. I need to prepare at least 5 dishes and I must select the best because as I heard about the culinary dean, she is very particular and I don't want the entire culinary association in the city to fail. The chef visitor will be arriving in two weeks from now and I need to select the best recipe for her arrival. Some of my chef friends have volunteered to help me in the cooking an I am happy about that. I cannot do this on my own. I need chefs that will help in this big responsibility that would make a big impact to all chefs in the city.
