Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and optional chili powder.

  3. In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and corn kernels.

  5. Drizzle ranch dressing and salsa verde over the salad; toss gently to combine without mashing the ingredients.
