👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1In a small bowl, add the diced, cooked chicken, honey garlic sauce, and hot sauce. Toss to combine.
  2. 2In a separate large bowl, toss the chopped romaine with your choice of dressing. I like to use a simple vinaigrette, but you can use whatever you like or have on hand.
  3. 3Transfer the salad to two large plates or bowls. Top with red onions, bell pepper, cucumber, cheese (optional), and the Hot Honey Chicken. (Chicken sauce recipe below.)
  4. 4Serve immediately.

  6. 6In a small saucepan, add soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, 1 Tablespoon minced garlic, and rice vinegar. Whisk to combine.
  7. 7In another small bowl, combine the water and the cornstarch. Stir with a spoon until all of the cornstarch has dissolved, and then pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan.
  8. 8Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisking regularly, bring to a boil.
  9. 9Once the sauce is boiling, lower the heat slightly. Let it boil for 5 minutes.
