Instructions
- Prep your chicken (see notes below) and chop your veggies for the salad.
- Melt butter and combine with hot sauce, whisking to mix.
- Pour sauce over chicken and serve over lettuce with all your favorite toppings from the list above!
- Drizzle with dressing of choice (I opted for ranch and a hearty drizzle of hot sauce) and dig in.
Notes
- This chicken is a fabulous use for leftover or rotisserie chicken! You can also cook it up fresh via your favorite cooking method. Grilled, poached, pressure cooked, slow cooked, baked... anything goes!
- Making this salad for a crowd? It's easily doubled, tripled or quadrupled to feed your hungry family and friends!
- The general rule of thumb is that a serving of chicken is 4 oz, which equates to a 1/2 cup of shredded/chopped chicken. Multiply the chicken and sauce ingredients as needed and then just wing the lettuce and topping measurements, since those are totally customizable and a breeze to toss together.
