A quick and easy creamy buffalo chicken salad bowl made with tender diced chicken, crisp vegetables, and a tangy Greek yogurt buffalo dressing. Ready in minutes and works great as a sandwich filling, lettuce wrap, or dip.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1 1/4 pounds or 3 small/medium breasts, 1/2-inch diced
  • 2 medium stalks celery, 1/4-inch diced (about 1 cup)
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 medium orange or yellow bell pepper, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce such as Frank’s
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Crumbled blue cheese or feta, optional

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, celery, green onions, shredded carrot, and chopped bell pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Buffalo sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Serve as a filling for sandwiches, inside lettuce cups, as a dip with crackers, or in a wrap. If desired, sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese or feta before serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time. Simply shred or dice it and you are ready to go.
  • Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to control the heat level to your preference.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a lower sodium version, use a low-sodium Buffalo sauce and skip the added salt.
  • This salad tastes even better after sitting in the fridge for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to come together.
  • Blue cheese adds a classic buffalo wing flavor, but feta works well for a milder option.
