Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by bringing a pot of water to a gentle boil and add the chicken breasts. Let them simmer for about 10–14 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  2. While the chicken is cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and dice the celery into small pieces.
  3. Once the chicken has cooled enough to handle, shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped parsley, diced celery, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, and buffalo sauce. Toss gently until fully coated.
  5. Serve your zesty Buffalo Chicken Salad on a bed of mixed greens, in a sandwich, or as a dip with crackers.
