Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 teaspoons cayenne pepper sauce
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut lengthwise into thick strips
1 1/2 teaspoons hot paprika or 1 1/2 teaspoons mild chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 large celery ribs, diced
4 carrots, shredded
4 scallions, thinly sliced
3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (3 ounces)
1/3 cup 1% low-fat milk
6 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
6 cups shredded romaine lettuce

1
Preheat the broiler. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the hot pepper sauce. Add the chicken and toss. Transfer the chicken to a broiler pan and sprinkle on both sides with the paprika and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Broil 6 inches from the heat, turning once, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cooked through. Place on a plate to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, cut into bite-size pieces.

Meanwhile, prepare the celery, carrots and scallions, and put them in a large salad bowl, tossing well to combine.
3
In a blender or mini food processor, combine the blue cheese, milk, yogurt, vinegar, remaining 2 teaspoons oil, remaining 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. (If there are any juices on the chicken plate, add them in.) Process until smooth.
4
Add the dressing, chicken and lettuce to the salad bowl, tossing gently to combine. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
