Method

Prepare Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest before slicing.

Cook Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the apple-wood-smoked bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble into pieces.

Assemble Salad

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, black olives, and sliced mushrooms. Toss to combine.

  2. 5

    Add Chicken and Bacon

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips and add to the salad along with the crumbled bacon. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and jack cheeses over the top.

  3. 6

    Top with Croûtons and Dressing

    Add croûtons on top of the salad and drizzle with ranch dressing. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
