½ cup blue cheese crumbles
¼ cup ranch dressing

Instructions

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), about 6-8 minutes per side.
Remove chicken from heat and let rest for five minutes before tossing it in buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
While the chicken rests, chop romaine lettuce and place it in a large bowl.
Top the lettuce with blue cheese crumbles, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and green onions.
Drizzle ranch dressing on top and gently toss everything together until well combined.
Serve immediately for maximum freshness.
