# Steps:
01 -
Scoop your saucy chicken mix onto the salad last. Eat it soon so the lettuce stays crisp.
02 -
Now, toss on the onions, cucumbers, bell peppers, and a little shredded cheese if you want.
03 -
Split the coated romaine into two bowls or plates. Make enough room for toppings.
04 -
Grab a big bowl and stir your chopped romaine with your chosen dressing so everything is covered.
05 -
Throw diced chicken in a small bowl, pour on the honey garlic and buffalo sauce, and stir until it’s all sticky and coated.
# Notes:
01 -
Making your own buffalo or honey garlic sauces brings loads of flavor. Want to prep ahead? Keep everything separate till you’re ready for lunch.
02 -
No chicken breasts? Rotisserie chicken, leftover turkey, or even thighs work just fine.
03 -
Going vegan? Swap in crunchy tofu, skip the cheese, and pick a creamy vegan dressing.
04 -
Tweak the heat by using less or more hot sauce, or even change the type.
05 -
Got extras? Stuff everything inside wraps or bread for a lunch twist.
06 -
Try teriyaki sauce instead of honey garlic for something new.
