    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Place them on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

    While the chicken is resting, wash and chop the romaine lettuce. Place it in a large salad bowl.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Dressing

    Shred the cheddar cheese and add it to the lettuce. Drizzle ranch dressing over the salad.

  4. 4

    Slice the Chicken

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips and place it on top of the salad.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients and serve immediately.
