Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil.

Step 7

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken with the buffalo sauce, tossing to ensure the chicken is well coated.

Step 9

Roughly chop the romaine lettuce and slice the celery stalks. Dice the green onions as well.
