Southwest Fried Chicken Salad with Jalapeño Lime Ranch

1. For Katie's Fried Chicken: Prepare chicken breasts. Coat each chicken breast in egg wash, then dredge in a mixture of flour, salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the coated chicken until golden brown and crispy on both sides and cooked through. Remove from heat and slice.
2. For Jalapeño Lime Ranch: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup store-bought ranch dressing with 1 tablespoon minced jalapeño and the juice of 1/2 a lime. Mix well.
3. For the Southwest Salad: In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, roasted sweet potatoes, corn, black beans, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and tortilla chips.
4. Assembly: Top the salad mixture with the sliced fried chicken and drizzle generously with the jalapeño lime ranch dressing. Serve immediately.
