Meal planning was a success last week and so we continue this week as well. This week, our budget was $50. It was $10 less than last week, which is a major success.
On the menu for today is:
and buffalo chicken with a plate of fries for the boyfriend.
The star of this meal was this sauce that we used for the chicken:
Boyfriend loves this sauce and I can see why. It was so good!
The meal was delicious! It was so simple to make and I ate it up in a matter of minutes because it was that good.
You all know I love spicy food. So this salad has become one of my favorite now. It was perfectly spicy and paired so well with the buttermilk ranch dressing.
You can add some blue cheese to this salad as well or used blue cheese dressing instead of the buttermilk ranch if you want.
Buffalo Chicken Salad
Makes 5 Servings
Ingredients:
1.5 lb chicken breast
3/4 cup of Buffalo Wing Sauce
4 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
2 egg whites
2 tbsp oil
Greens (any kind)
Buttermilk Ranch Dressing (optional)
Directions: Add 2 egg whites, cornstarch, salt, pepper and mix well. Next cut up the chicken in small pieces (about 1 inch) and toss it in with the cornstarch mixture to coat. In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium heat. Add half of the chicken and cook until golden (about 6-8 minutes). Transfer to a place and place the rest of the chicken into the skillet and cook until golden. Add all of the chicken back into the skillet and add the buffalo sauce. Toss to coat. Serve over a bed of greens and ranch dressing. Enjoy!
I’m glad I have leftover buffalo chickens. I might make a pita sandwich with it for dinner!

What is your favorite salad? I have a lot of favorites. I love southwestern salad, pears with dried cherry salad and thai salad. But I will now add this buffalo chicken salad to the list of favorites!
I looove spicy chicken, my boyfriend makes the best! This looks so good though. I love pairing crisp greens with spicy chicken! And that would be my favorite salad. Or the turkey deluxe salad at Rib City! Idk what there is about it but it’s so delicious.
My boyfriend actually helped make this meal too. He loves to make it if it involves buffalo chicken. Haha.
I love buffalo chicken, especially on salads or sandwiches! It’s hard for me to pick a favorite salad because I tend to get bored of them if I have them too often. I just love a lot of stuff in them!
I love a lot of toppings in my salad too! It just makes the salad taste so much better to me at least.
Spicy chicken is perfect for salads! Sounds awesome and looks soo tasty! I love salads- almost any kind of asian inspired is amazing! And fruit with nuts and soft cheeses are delish. I think I need that salad now.
Spicy chicken is really perfect with salad! You don’t even need the dressing since it’s so flavorful already.
Cute blog! So glad I found it! I also looooove buffalo chicken and am obsessed with eating it in lettuce cups… I have a craving for THIS now
Thank you! Love your blog too!
I didn’t even think about eating it in a lettuce cups. Thanks for reminding me!

I am obsessed with buffalo chicken! I love your healthy twist on the salad..looks delicious! bookmarking this right now!
Gah! I love this idea! Will is a huge buffalo chicken lover, but I’m allergic to egg whites so I don’t think I can partake in this
boooo
Ah, buffalo chicken anything is amazing, but I especially love it with salad. The combination of the spicy chicken and cool, crisp salad is absolutely perfect! Thanks for the recipe!
I love it on salad too. It makes the salad taste ten times better!
Mmm buff chic is amazing
Great looking salad here! I love a salad with a mix of fresh fruit and crisp veggies!
I LOVE salad, I eat at least one salad a day. My favorite are the ones that aren’t centered on a lettuce or leafy green, like roasted chickpea or green bean salad. Delicious!
OMG that sounds SO good! I love buffalo wings and buffalo anything, so this sounds right up my alley.
I love a lot of salads too–like the Thai Chopped salad from Panera or the vegetarian naked taco salad from Qdoba with tons of habanero salsa! Spicy things are my favorite
I love that salad from Panera! Along with the rest of their salads like the apple salad too.
Buffalo chicken is one of my favorites. I haven’t had in so long!
I love salads like this or Mexican inspired salads.
The Buffalo Chicken Salad looks delicious! My current favorite salad is arugula, chicken, dried cranberries, candied walnuts, and Gorgonzola cheese. By the way, I tagged you in a survey on my most recent post!
Your salad sounds delicious! I love all of the toppings except for the gorgonzola cheese, not a fan at all. I might sub it with goat cheese instead.
Alan really likes boneless wings, so I’ll have to make this for him. But it sure looks yummy. My current favorite salad is mixed greens, chicken, candied walnuts, feta with maple vinaigrette.
Although, there’s this salad place downtown that makes an awesome salad. It’s a bit pricey so I can only indulge once in a while.
I’m sure he will love it. My boyfriend couldn’t stop eating it!
You favorite salad sound really good! Maple vinaigrette sounds fantastic!
I haven’t had buffalo chicken in a WHILE. Sounds great
