was watching FoodTV the other day, and 'chef at home' with Michael Smith had this wicked chicken wing salad...so this recipe, which I adapted for low carb is based on that! this recipe is for 1 person (ME!) but could be doubled or tripled easily.

1 or 2 boneless chicken breasts or thighs
salt & pepper
2 Tbsps butter
hot sauce to taste (I like tabasco...it's pretty low carb)
1 cup of romaine lettuce, shredded
1 rib of celery, sliced
1 Tbsp sour cream/1 Tbsp cream/1 oz of real Danish blue cheese OR 2 Tbsp of blue cheese/ranch dressing + 1 oz monterey jack cheese

Dice the chicken into bite size pieces and salt & pepper generously. Melt one Tbsp of the butter in a fry pan, saute the chicken until golden and cooked through. Add the remaining butter after removing the pan from the heat and add as many dashes of hot sauce as you would like.

Meanwhile, prepare the green ingredients in a bowl. Crumble the blue cheese over the salad part. Mix together,in a different small bowl, the sour cream and cream to form a loose, creamy dressing.

Top the salad and cheese with the (still warm) chicken chunks. Drizzle the dressing over the top....delish!!!!!

If you don't like blue cheese, you can omit the homemade dressing and top with 1 oz monterey jack (use the one with the pepper flakes in it if you dare) and 2 tbsp of commercial ranch dressing. Delish this way, too!!!!!
