Ingredients
  

For the Buffalo Chicken

  • 1 cup Shredded cooked chicken* 150 grams/about 1 chicken breast
  • ¼ cup Hot Sauce (I like to use Frank's) 4 tbsp
  • ¼ tsp Garlic Granules
  • ¼ tsp Onion Granules
  • ¼ tsp Dried Parsley
  • ¼ tsp Dried Dill
  • ¼ tsp Dried Chives
  • Pinch Salt & Pepper

For the Blue Cheese Dressing

  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise 4 tbsp
  • ¼ cup Greek Yoghurt (or Sour Cream) 4 tbsp
  • ¼ cup Crumbled Blue Cheese (I used Gorgonzola) 40g
  • 2 tbsp Milk
  • 2 tbsp White Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Chives
  • ½ tsp Garlic Granules
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • Black Pepper to Taste

Toppings

  • 100 grams Kettle Chips or similar 3.5 oz
  • 1 large handful rocket/arugula
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 celery rib, diced
  • 1-2 tbsp Crumbled Blue Cheese optional
  • Diced Chives optional

Instructions
 

Blue Cheese Dressing

  • To make the blue cheese dressing simply combine all the ingredients in a small bowl or jar and mix well. I like to 'mash' the blue cheese with the back of a spoon to combine it more with the liquids.
  • Cover and refrigerate the dressing for at least 2 hours before serving. The dressing will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Buffalo Chicken

  • To make the Buffalo Chicken, mix the shredded chicken with your preferred Hot Sauce and the seasonings. See notes for cooking if you are using fresh chicken breast.
  • If you have it, you can swap the seasoning mix for 1.5 teaspoons of pre-mixed Ranch seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to also adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred taste/desired sauciness.

To Assemble

  • Lay your potato chips on a plate or serving dish and top with the Buffalo Chicken - spread it out evenly across the chips.
  • Top with the rocket/arugula and scatter over the diced tomato and celery. Add some extra Blue Cheese crumbles if you wish.
  • Make sure you give the Blue Cheese Dressing a good mix then drizzle all over the loaded chips. You probably won't need to use all the dressing, so make sure you serve some on the side for more dipping!
  • Top with some chopped chives and dig in!

Notes

*For the shredded chicken you can use rotisserie chicken, leftover roast chicken or cook your own - One cooked chicken breast makes roughly 1 cup of shredded chicken. 
To cook - lightly season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. When the oil is hot, add your chicken. Cook for about 4-5 minutes each side, until fully cooked through and the middle is no longer pink.
Remove the chicken from the pan, allow it to rest for a couple of minutes and then use two forks to shred the meat.
