What's For Dinner? Buffalo Chicken Salad

I don't know about you but I love hot wings and hot wings are just not healthy. I finally came up with my version of a healthy take on those delicious little devils and made a complete meal out of it. I use boneless skinless chicken breasts for this recipe and the wing sauce isn't full of butter. It is one of the best I have found that is actually healthy.

Buffalo Chicken Salad

3 Boneless skinless chicken breasts (rinsed and tenderized)

1 bottle Heritage Fare Buffalo Style Wing Sauce

1 16oz. Low fat cottage cheese (small curd)

1 packet ranch dressing mix

Your favorite Salad ingredients

(I kept mine simple with what I had on hand. Romain lettuce,tomatoes,green onions,carrots,mozzarella cheese, and cucumbers)

I used the grill for my chicken but I think it would be great cooked in a skillet too.


Use a small amount of wing sauce to cover the chicken breasts and let them marinate in it for about 30 minutes. Prepare your salad and refrigerate. For the dressing I love to use ranch with my wings but of course it isn't all that healthy either so here is my version.


In a blender or food processor add the cottage cheese and ranch mix. Add about 3 tbs. water and blend until smooth and creamy. Keep refrigerated.


Grill your chicken and then slice it into strips. Toss it in more of the wing sauce and plate it up.
This is so gooooood!


Note: The wing sauce is a bit hot so the more you add the hotter it will be.

Whats for Dinner?

I love Summer time and all the good food that goes along with the season. Fresh vegetables from the garden, grilling, and fresh fruit desserts. My mouth waters just thinking about it. So from time to time I will be posting "What's for dinner", starting tonight.

A great light and healthy Summer time fare is what I choose for meals these days. Keeping it light and healthy during this hot season is my goal. Tonight we had grilled BBQ chicken breast "Stubb's Style" of course, grilled asparagus tossed in olive oil and sea salt, and a healthy squash casserole. Would you like my squash casserole recipe? Well here you go!

Healthy Squash Casserole

6 -7 crook neck squash

1/2 medium sweet onion-chopped

1/2 cup Olive Oil Mayonnaise

1 egg slightly beaten

1 cup Low fat Mozzarella

3 Tbs. I can't believe it's not butter spray

Pepper & Salt to taste

Wash and slice squash and place in a microwave safe dish with lid. Add a little water to the dish.Salt and pepper the squash generously. Microwave on high for 10 minutes or until tender.

In a large bowl, combine the chopped sweet onion, mayonnaise,egg,mozzarella,and butter spray. Blend well. Drain and add the squash and mix gently.

Using the same casserole dish, spray with non stick spray and add the squash mixture.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Turn on broiler and place under broiler until lightly browned on top.

***You can add a cracker crumb topping if you like. It just keeps it a little healthier without it.***

So tell me, What's for dinner at your house?
