Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it is melted, add the buffalo sauce and honey. Reduce the heat to low and whisk together for 30-60 seconds, or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Allow the sauce to cool slightly, then spoon most of the sauce over the chicken, reserving a little for the end.
- Put the chicken on a sheet pan and place it in the oven. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Top with the remaining sauce and allow the chicken to cool, then chop into cubes.
- Prep your vegetables, slice the avocado, and cube the cheese. Toss the romaine in a small amount of ranch dressing, then arrange the remaining toppings around the salad. Top with more ranch dressing and additional buffalo sauce if you’d like.
