High Protein Buffalo Chicken Meal Prep Salad
30 mins prepServes 5
A high-protein buffalo chicken salad perfect for meal prepping, featuring seared chicken, chickpeas, bell peppers, celery, red onion, and fresh dill, all tossed in a creamy Greek yogurt-based buffalo ranch dressing.
1. Preheat a frying pan over medium-high heat, generously seasoning your chicken with salt while you wait. If chicken breasts are thick, slice them in half lengthwise. Alternatively, sear and then transfer to the oven to finish cooking.
2. Add in your neutral oil and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan and let cool to room temperature before dicing.
3. Add all of the High Protein Buffalo Ranch Dressing ingredients (0% Greek yogurt, Frank’s buffalo wing hot sauce, ranch seasoning or individual spices, and water as needed) to a large bowl and stir together, thinning with water as needed (you shouldn’t need much, if any). Taste and adjust salt/spices to your liking. Optionally, fold in a little fresh dill from the salad.
4. Add the diced chicken, chickpeas, bell peppers, celery, red onion, and dill to a large bowl. Add the dressing in stages while stirring until dressed to your liking before storing the salad in an airtight container and using within 5-7 days.
