Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until cooked through and juices run clear.

Step 3: In a large bowl, combine 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce and 2 thinly sliced celery stalks. Add the buffalo chicken and toss gently.
Step 4: Drizzle 1/3 cup ranch dressing over the salad and sprinkle 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles on top. Toss lightly to combine and serve immediately for a fresh, spicy meal.
