Ingredients

Scale
  • 56 oz chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

  • Optional add-ons: shredded cheddar, croutons, red onion, cherry tomatoes, avocado, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: Toss chicken pieces with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sear in a skillet over medium-high heat for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through (165°F).
  2. Build the bowl: Add lettuce to a bowl. Arrange cucumber and corn on top.
  3. Add chicken + ranch: Pile the hot chicken on one side and drizzle ranch over the chicken and veggies.
  4. Serve: Toss everything together or keep it sectioned like the photo.

Notes

  • Use leftover grilled or rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • For a lighter option, swap ranch for Greek yogurt dressing.
