Buffalo chicken salad!

This is a super easy recipe and very yummy. I make this often and change it up a bit from the recipe. I add many extra veggies in it including spinich, carrots, broccoli, and a few others. Haven't been successful getting my kids to eat it but its great having a recipe I can throw together if I'm running late on getting dinner done.

Ingredients
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1/3 pound)
2 to 3 teaspoons hot sauce, such as 365 Everyday Value or Cholula
3 cups roughly chopped romaine lettuce
2 ribs celery, sliced
2 tablespoons 365 Everyday Value Organic Light Ranch Dressing
1/2 oz blue cheese crumbles
365 Everyday Value Organic Croutons (optional)
Method
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Arrange chicken flat in skillet and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Once cool, tear into thick shreds and toss with hot sauce. In a large bowl, toss together lettuce, celery and dressing. Arrange on a plate, top with chicken and blue cheese and serve, with a few croutons if desired.
