Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season both sides with southwestern seasoning. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salad Base

    While the chicken is resting, chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a large salad bowl. Top with shredded cheese and tortilla strips.

  3. 3

    Slice the Chicken

    After the chicken has rested, slice it into strips and arrange it on top of the salad.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle southwestern ranch dressing over the salad. Serve with salsa and sour cream on the side for added flavor.
