Method
Preparing the Chicken
Grilling or Frying the Chicken
If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. If frying, heat a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, and cook chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Resting the Chicken
Remove the cooked chicken from heat, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Assembling the Salad
Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, pecans, craisins, sunflower seeds, and cornbread croutons.
Add Chicken and Dressing
Add the sliced chicken on top of the salad. Drizzle with ranch dressing and toss gently to combine.
