Spicy chicken with a cooling blue cheese dressing.
Equipment: Frying pan; small bowl
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced
- 3 tbsp hot sauce
- 20 g butter (glaze)
- Salad leaves, celery and cucumber
- 100 g cherry tomatoes
- 50 g blue cheese mashed with 3 tbsp soured cream (sour cream) (dressing)
- 1 tbsp oil
- Black pepper
Method
- Season the chicken and fry in the oil over a medium-high heat for 6 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
- Melt the butter with the hot sauce, then toss the hot chicken through until well coated.
- Mash the blue cheese into the soured cream, loosening with a splash of water, to make the dressing.
- Pile the leaves, celery, cucumber and tomatoes into bowls.
- Top with the buffalo chicken, drizzle with the blue cheese dressing and finish with black pepper — the hot sauce is salty, so no extra salt.
Swaps and tips
Most hot sauces are very low in sugar — check the label. The celery and creamy blue cheese are the classic cooling partners.
