Cook quinoa according to package directions. Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sprinkle with garlic salt. Cook chicken 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned and no longer pink.
Add undrained tomatoes and celery; cook 2 to 3 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Add buffalo wing sauce; stir to combine.
Add cooked quinoa to chicken mixture; stir to combine. Top each serving with blue cheese dressing.
Quinoa typically is found in the rice and pasta section of supermarkets. Rinse well before cooking to remove the natural bitter coating, if it is not pre-washed.
