Ingredients:
- 450g cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 60ml buffalo-style hot sauce
- 60g plain Greek yogurt
- 30g mayonnaise
- 5ml fresh lemon juice
- 2g garlic powder
- 2g dried dill
- 65g celery, finely diced
- 40g red onion, finely minced
- 15g fresh chives, chopped
- 30g blue cheese crumbles
- 0.5g black pepper
- 0.5g salt
Instructions:
- Take your 450g of cooked chicken breast and shred it into bite-sized pieces until you have a pile of uniform, fluffy strands. Note: Long strands hold onto the sauce better than cubes.
- Toss the shredded chicken with 60ml of buffalo style hot sauce in a large bowl until every fiber is stained bright orange. Note: Doing this before adding the creamy elements ensures the meat is seasoned, not just coated.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 60g Greek yogurt and 30g mayonnaise until the mixture is silky and pale.
- Add 5ml lemon juice, 2g garlic powder, and 2g dried dill to the dairy mixture until no clumps of powder remain.
- Stir in 40g minced red onion and 15g chopped chives until the herbs are evenly distributed.
- Pour the seasoned dressing over the buffalo chicken and fold gently with a spatula until the chicken is fully enveloped in a velvety coating.
- Gently stir in 65g diced celery until the green bits are peeking through the orange sauce. Note: Adding celery last keeps it from getting buried and losing its snap.
- Sprinkle in 30g blue cheese crumbles and 0.5g each of salt and pepper, giving it one final, very light toss until the cheese is just barely incorporated. Note: Over mixing will turn the blue cheese into a grey paste, which we definitely want to avoid.
