Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F). This sets the stage for perfectly cooked chicken.
Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken fillets with garlic powder and buffalo sauce. Be generous; we want these flavors to pop!
Coat the Chicken: Dredge the seasoned chicken in rice crumbs until fully coated. This will add a wonderful crunch to your dish.
Bake: Place the coated chicken on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden.
Slice the Chicken: Once cooled slightly, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, mix together your choice of lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
Assemble: Top the salad with freshly sliced chicken and drizzle with ranch dressing to taste.
Serve and Enjoy: Toss everything together gently, and your Buffalo Chicken Salad is ready to be served!
