Start by washing and drying the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Slice the dill pickles into thin rounds. Dice the cucumber and finely slice the red onion. Add these to the bowl with the lettuce.
Dice the cheddar cheese into small cubes and add to the salad bowl.
Cut the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and cooled before adding it to the salad mix.
In a separate bowl, prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, freshly chopped dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Use salad tongs or clean hands to toss everything together until the salad is coated evenly with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You may add a little extra salt or pepper based on your preference.
Serve immediately, or if preparing in advance, keep the salad refrigerated and toss again before serving to redistribute the dressing.
