Buffalo Chicken Salad
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 16 minutes
Total Time: 36 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Serving Size: 1/4 of recipe
Gather

2 tablespoons hot sauce
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound chicken tenders
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/4 cup fat free feta cheese crumbles
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons nonfat buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
Step by step

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together the hot sauce, vinegar, sugar, and salt in a shallow dish until well blended. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Place the Panko and oil in a shallow dish and toss with a fork to combine. Roll each chicken tender in the Panko to completely coat. Transfer to the rack of a broiler pan. Bake, turning once, until chicken is cooked through, and Panko is golden brown in color, about 16 minutes.
While the chicken bakes, stir together the feta cheese, yogurt, buttermilk, and pepper. Set aside.
When the chicken is done, divide the lettuce among 4 plates. Top with chicken, drizzle with dressing to taste, and serve immediately.

Topic: RE: Shirataki Noodles -- have you tried these? I think I may be!

I have had these noodles and honestly did not like them. It was not the taste as that was bland but the texture. It reminded me of a mushroom or lobster texture that I don't like. There are so many recipes from Hungry girl that look so good but I just can't get over the texture. Oh and they have a smell but you rinse them very well and it goes away.

I'm trying to write a master thesis about the quality of life after bariatric surgeries. The main aim of it is to make a surgeries more popular by showing how life saving it is. It in NOT for any marketing reaserch or anything like that. I'm studying nursery on Jagiellonian University, the resulsts will be analysed and used in a masters thesis, and hopefully If I will get enought of respondents I will publish the results for the use of medical stuff in Poland. My opinion is that the feedbeck from the patients is the most valiable sourse of how the procedures are recieved. I kindly request your help in conducting research aimed at improving the quality of life of people after bariatric surgery. The questionnaire is anonymous. The questionaire contains 39 questions it takes about 5-10 min. It is very important to answer all of them. Please help me to help other people who struggle with obesity. http://moje-ankiety.pl/respond-49823.html
