Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Buffalo Chicken Preparation

  1. 2

    Cook the Chicken Tenders

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Season the chicken tenders with salt and black pepper. Cook the chicken tenders for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  2. 3

    Coat with Buffalo Sauce

    Once the chicken tenders are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them in a bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken and toss until they are fully coated.

  3. 4

    Slice the Chicken

    After the chicken has cooled slightly, slice it into strips for easy topping on the salad.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large serving bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, sliced cucumbers, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with ranch dressing and toss gently to combine.

  2. 6

    Top with Chicken and Cheese

    Add the sliced buffalo chicken tenders on top of the salad and sprinkle with shredded cheddar jack cheese.
