Buffalo Chicken Salad 'Zone

Two fabulous recipes with practically the same ingredients.

Buffalo Chicken Salad

for Two

1 Chicken breast, chunked

Red Hot Sauce

Spicy Ranch Dressing (Hidden Valley)

Lettuce

Carrot

Fresh tomato, chunked and seedless

chunked cucumber

Goat Cheese or Sharp Cheese

In a pan, throw in the chunks of raw chicken with a tsp of olive oil. When chicken is  almost cooked, add red hot sauce. I add a lot because I like to see how far I can push Nick with spicy foods and also, my father calls me 'asbestos mouth' in reference to my tolerance for anything hot. 

Also add a tbs of spicy ranch dressing. Let cook through. Set aside.

Make your salads using lettuce, carrots, tomato, cucumber and cheese. Add chicken. Top with combination red hot sauce and ranch dressing. Top with broken tortilla chips for added crunch.

Buffalo Chicken Calzone

for Two + Lunch-overs

1 Chicken breast, chunked

Red Hot Sauce

Spicy Ranch Dressing

Ricotta Cheese

1 egg

Fresh Pizza Dough

Pizza Sauce

Shredded Sharp Cheese

In a pan, throw in the chunks of chicken with a tsp olive oil. Like the salad above, when the chicken is almost done (but not quite!), add red hot sauce and a tbs ranch dressing. Let cook through. Set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together ricotta and egg. Roll out pizza dough with flour on your hands and the counter. Spray pizza stone with Pam. Set round, rolled out dough on stone. Spread ricotta mixture on 1/2 the dough (avoid edges). Top with chicken and sharp cheese. Add more ricotta. Add more sharp cheese. Add red hot sauce and a tiny bit of ranch dressing. 

Fold together. Pinch edges of dough to avoid leakage. 

Bake 400 degrees until done. Honestly, I lost track of time. Maybe 30 minutes? Go until the crust is golden and then add five minutes to make sure it isn't dough-y.

Serve with pizza sauce :)
