Step 1
Season the 2 chicken breasts with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (no pink inside). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Step 3
Wash and chop the 4 cups lettuce, slice the 2 tomatoes, and thinly slice the 0.5 red onion. Place all in a large bowl.
Step 4
Add the sliced chicken and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
Step 5
Toss everything together until well combined. Serve immediately, adding extra salt or pepper if needed.
