Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season with salt and black pepper.
Breading the Chicken
Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, buttermilk in another, and cornmeal in a third. Dip each chicken strip in flour, then buttermilk, and finally coat with cornmeal.
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken strips until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Prepare the Salad
In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion.
Assemble the Salad
Place the fried chicken strips on top of the salad and drizzle with ranch dressing. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
