Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Grilling or Breaded Chicken

    If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, then brush with olive oil. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and juices run clear. In the last minute of grilling, brush BBQ sauce over the chicken. If breading, dip the chicken in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs before frying in olive oil until golden brown and cooked through.

Salad Assembly

  1. 2

    Assembling the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and crispy wonton strips. Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into strips and add on top of the salad.

Dressing the Salad

  1. 3

    Adding Dressing

    Drizzle ranch dressing over the salad to taste, or serve on the side for guests to add themselves. Toss gently to combine.
