Instructions

Begin by cooking chicken strips in a cold skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove them from the skillet, drain on paper towels, and chop into small pieces.
Toast slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant; allow to cool.
Chop the kale and romaine into thin strips. In a large mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cheeses, croutons, toasted almonds, and chicken pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and minced garlic. Gradually pour in olive oil while whisking continuously until combined; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
