Notes

Chicken to Use: Any fully cooked chicken breast will work in this recipe. Some great options are rotisserie chicken breast, cubed grilled chicken breast, or rinsed and drained canned chicken.
Cheese Options: If you don’t have The Laughing Cow cheese wedges, you can use four tablespoons of light cream cheese instead.
Hot Sauce to Use: Some great options are Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wings Sauce, Frank’s Classic RedHot Sauce, or your favorite hot sauce.
Adjust the Heat: You can adjust the heat of your buffalo chicken salad by adding more or less hot sauce to taste.
Onion Options: You can slice 2-3 green onions for this recipe. Or, use 1/4 cup of diced white, sweet, or red onion.
Greek Yogurt Swap: You can swap the non-fat Greek yogurt with 2% or whole milk Greek yogurt if preferred. Or, if you don’t have Greek yogurt, you can use whipped cottage cheese.
