We gussied up the classic appetizer and transformed it into a healthy entrée salad of saucy chicken strips, crisp carrots and celery, and pungent buttermilk-blue cheese dressing. You can drizzle the dressing over the salad or serve alongside for dipping. Serve with toasted French bread baguette slices for a more filling meal. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup 2% reduced-fat milk |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 12 strips |
3/8 teaspoon kosher salt |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
1/4 cup hot sauce |
5 teaspoons butter, melted |
6 cups torn romaine lettuce |
3/4 cup matchstick-cut carrot |
1/2 cup thinly diagonally sliced celery |
3 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk |
2 tablespoons canola mayonnaise |
1/2 ounce blue cheese, crumbled (about 2 tablespoons) |
Directions:
1. Place flour in a shallow dish. Combine milk and egg in a shallow dish, stirring well. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Dredge chicken in flour; dip in egg mixture. Dredge in flour again, shaking off excess. Add chicken to pan; sauté 3 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan using a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Combine hot sauce and butter in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add chicken to hot sauce mixture, tossing to coat evenly. Cut chicken into slices.
2. Combine lettuce, carrot, and celery in a large bowl. Combine buttermilk and remaining ingredients, stirring well. Arrange about 1 1/2 cups salad on each of 4 plates; divide chicken strips among salads. Drizzle dressing evenly over salads.
