Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

- In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed lettuce greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and corn. Toss them together gently.
- Add the sliced chicken on top of the salad, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken.
- Drizzle ranch dressing over the salad and toss to combine if desired, or serve the dressing on the side for individual preferences.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
