Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    After marinating, remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture and dredge in flour until fully coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Slice the fried chicken and place it on top of the salad.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Drizzle ranch dressing over the salad, add avocado slices, and serve immediately.
