Instructions
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Lightly oil grill grate. Cook chicken on the prepared grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the juices run clear. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush each chicken breast with BBQ sauce. Allow chicken to cook to 160°F (Upon a mandatory rest off the grill, the meat temperature will continue to rise to 165°F approved by the FDA.) Remove chicken from grill and allow to rest while you prepare the rest of the salad.

- To serve, drizzle each salad with Ranch dressing. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can always cook the chicken on the stove if it's not grilling weather.
