hicken and Bacon Ranch Salad

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the pan, let rest for a few minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Cook the bacon:

In the same skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crispy.

Remove from heat and place on paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, break into small pieces.

Assemble the salad:

In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, corn, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Add the chopped chicken and bacon pieces.

Drizzle ranch dressing over the salad and toss everything together to coat evenly.

Serve:

Serve the salad immediately, adding extra ranch dressing on the side if desired.
