How to cook deliciously - Chef's Salad with Grilled Chicken and Black Pepper Ranch

1. Stage

Preheat a gas grill to medium heat (400 to 450 degrees F, or 200 to 230 degrees C) or a grill pan over medium-high heat; oil the grates. Pat chicken dry and sprinkle evenly with 3/4 teaspoon salt.

2. Stage

Place chicken on the preheated grill and cook, turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before chopping.

3. Stage

While chicken rests, stir together buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, parsley, dill, black pepper, garlic, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a medium bowl.

4. Stage

Toss butter lettuce and iceberg in a large bowl or platter. Arrange chicken, cucumber, cheese, tomatoes, avocado, and eggs over lettuce. Drizzle 1/2 of the dressing. Serve with remaining dressing on the side.
