Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil and season them evenly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken cools, rinse and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Cook the bacon until crispy (if not already cooked), then crumble or chop into small pieces.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, croutons, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Add the sliced grilled chicken to the salad bowl, arranging it evenly on top!
Drizzle the ranch dressing over the salad or serve it on the side for individual preferences. Toss gently to combine, if desired.
Divide the salad into serving bowls or plates and enjoy immediately.
