Healthy Buffalo Chicken Salad Meal Prep and Storage

Meal Prep: To meal prep a salad, add all the ingredients to individual meal prep containers, or family sized containers. Add the dressing to a separate container and do not add it until you are ready to serve.
Storage: Will hold in the fridge for 4-5 days, does not hold well in the freezer.
Serving: If you added the dressing and the salad gets soggy, add it to a sandwich wrap or large tortilla. It’s a great way to salvage leftover soggy salad.

Lose Weight By Eating

This Low Calorie Buffalo Chicken Salad is just 383 calories and has almost 50g of protein per serving!

The sodium is a bit high, but you can easily reduce that by swapping out the garlic salt for garlic powder.

Special Tip: The blue cheese dressing is a bit higher in calories than the ranch, so it will add about 25 calories per serving. I used the ranch recipe to figure out the nutrition.

Ingredients

Low Calorie Buffalo Sauce:

1 cup Franks RedHot sauce
¼ cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons garlic salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon pepper

Salad Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts
Olive Oil Spray
4 cups romaine lettuce roughly chopped
1 cup red cabbage sliced
¼ red onion sliced
3 stalks celery sliced
1 cucumber sliced
1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
⅓ cup Low Calorie Ranch Dressing OR Low Calorie Blue Cheese

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the buffalo sauce ingredients. Mix well.
Add the chicken to a baking dish or large bowl and cover with 1/2 of the buffalo sauce, mix well to ensure all of the chicken is covered in sauce.
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat, spray with olive oil.
Add the chicken to the hot skillet, and cook for 8-12 minutes, flipping once, until the chicken is cooked through with no pink in the center.
Move to a plate to cool while you assemble the salads.
To 2 large bowls, or meal prep containers add the lettuce, cabbage, and onion. Give it a quick toss, then top each salad with celery, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes.
Slice the chicken breasts and place atop the salads.
Drizzle the remaining of the buffalo sauce over the salads, and then add ranch or blue cheese dressing and serve.
