  • 4 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 medium red onion, sliced

  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

  1.  Place the chicken breasts and hot sauce  in a large zip-top bag and toss until the chicken is well coated. Marinate them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. 
  2. Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and store the mixture in the refrigerator  while you prepare the rest of the salad. 
  3. Lightly grease with olive oil and preheat a grill or grill pan. Add the chicken, pouring any remaining hot sauce over the top. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through. 
  4. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest before slicing. 
  5. Combine the romaine lettuce, celery, cherry tomatoes, and red onion and divide into 4 bowls. Place the sliced chicken on top of each portion and drizzle with the ranch dressing.
