Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine Carolina hot sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Cook Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Salad Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare Salad Base

    In a large mixing bowl, add romaine lettuce mix. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar jack cheese and diced tomatoes over the lettuce.

  2. 4

    Add Croutons

    Top the salad with house made croutons for added crunch.

  3. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle ranch dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Slice the grilled chicken breasts and place them on top of the salad. Drizzle with additional Carolina hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately.
