At the Farmer House, we love a little heat in our meals—hot sauce finds its way onto just about everything! This Grilled Buffalo Chicken Cobb Salad is the perfect mix of bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and that signature spicy kick we can’t get enough of. Juicy grilled chicken, crisp greens, and a drizzle of buffalo-infused ranch take this classic Cobb to the next level.

Not a fan of too much spice? No worries! You can dial it down by adjusting the buffalo sauce or swap it out for a simple seasoning of salt and black pepper to keep things mild. However you make it, this salad is fresh, satisfying, and guaranteed to be a favorite at your table!

Food for Thought: The Strength in Surrender

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9

So often, we think strength comes from pushing harder, doing more, or proving ourselves. But true strength—the kind that sustains us, carries us, and transforms us—comes when we surrender.

Maybe today you’re carrying something too heavy. Maybe you feel like you have to hold it all together. But what if real power isn’t in striving, but in releasing?

God’s grace meets us exactly where we are. We don’t have to have it all figured out. We just have to trust that His strength is enough—even when we feel like we aren’t.

So take a deep breath today. Let go a little. And let Him be strong for you.

What is the Difference Between a Cobb and a Chef Salad?

In case you’re like me and have ever wondered what the difference is between these two common types of salads is, here’s the answer.  It might surprise you.  A Chef salad and a Cobb salad both have lettuce, cheese, meats such as chicken and bacon, hard-boiled eggs, etc.

However, the chef salad is typically considered a starter to the meal whereas, the Cobb salad is often considered to be the main dish.  For our family dinners, I love preparing this salad as it makes a filling and healthy main dish for a quick weeknight meal.

Ingredients You Will Need

To me, the reason why Cobb salads are so delicious is because of all the different flavors and textures. It’s creamy, crunchy, salty, and spicy in one bite! While Cobb’s are traditionally served with blue cheese, we prefer shredded cheddar, so I’ve included both options below. However, you could really use any cheese that you like.

• Chicken Breast
• Frank’s RedHot Sauce
• Salt and Black Pepper
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Ranch Dressing
• Romaine and Iceberg Lettuce
• Hard-Boiled Eggs
• Carrots
• Celery
• Red Onion
• Blue Cheese Crumbles or Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• Avocado
• Bacon
• Tomatoes

How to Make Grilled Buffalo Chicken Cobb Salad

1. To make the chicken: Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Season with the salt and pepper.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high-heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Add the hot sauce and use a spatula to stir, making sure the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside.

3. Meanwhile, to make the Buffalo ranch dressing: In a small bowl or mason jar, whisk together the ranch dressing and hot sauce. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

4. To assemble the salad: In a large shallow bowl or on a large platter, combine the romaine lettuce and the iceberg lettuce. Layer the chicken pieces, eggs, carrots, celery, red onion, cheese, avocado, turkey bacon, and grape tomatoes in neat rows over the lettuce.

5. To serve, drizzle with the dressing. Enjoy!
