Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cook the chicken tenders in a skillet over medium heat until they are fully cooked and golden brown on both sides, about 6-8 minutes. Let them cool slightly, then slice into strips.

    Prepare Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, corn, black beans, and roasted red peppers. Toss gently to mix.

  3. 3

    Assemble Salad

    Add the sliced chicken tenders on top of the salad mixture. Sprinkle with tortilla strips and shredded cheddar cheese.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the tangy ranch dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well combined. Serve immediately.
