Preparation Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F. Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once cooked, brush barbecue sauce onto both sides of the chicken and grill for an additional minute on each side to caramelize.
- While the chicken rests, chop the romaine lettuce, slice cucumbers, and halve cherry tomatoes.
- Slice the grilled chicken into strips after resting for about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine romaine, cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Add sliced chicken, cheddar cheese, and drizzle with ranch dressing. Toss gently.
- Divide salad into plates and serve immediately.

Notes
Enhance flavor by marinating chicken in barbecue sauce overnight. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results. Dress salad just before serving to maintain crispness.
