Ingredients
  

  • 6 ounces shredded chicken I'm using left-over rotisserie chicken but you could poach a chicken breast if you don't have left-over
  • ½ cup Lindy's Favorite BBQ Sauce or your favorite bottled BBQ sauce*
  • 4 - 6 tablespoons Quick Low-Fat Blue Cheese Dressing or your favorite from a jar But WHY?
  • 6 cups mixed greens I like to use a combination of romaine and mixed baby lettuces
  • 2 ribs celery sliced thinly on the diagonal
  • 2 green onions sliced thinly on the diagonal
  • Additional bleu cheese crumbles for topping optional
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Additional cayenne pepper and/or tabasco sauce, to taste, if desired

Instructions
 

  • Combine the shredded chicken and bbq sauce in a sauté pan and heat until hot and well combined. Turn off the heat and allow to sit as you prepare your salad ingredients. You want the meat to be warm, but not hot.
  • In a large bowl combine the salad greens, celery, onions, and dressing. Toss well to combine. Place into individual serving dishes; top with chicken mixture and additional blue cheese crumbles. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Notes

LindySez - If using a commercially prepared bbq sauce that does not have some tabasco in it (heat) add some or add some cayenne pepper to give it a kick.
