Chicken Bacon and Ranch Salad

I’m not going to lie to you – I think this might be the recipe that I’ve been most excited about in quite a while. Chicken. Bacon. Ranch. Salad.

Yes, you heard that right.

A delicious, creamy salad dressing filled with herbs is perfect on a salad topped with crispy chicken breast. Crumbled bacon adds saltiness that compliments the crisp greens nicely.
