Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cooked chicken breast, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 4 bacon strips, cooked crispy and chopped
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 2–3 fresh lettuce leaves
- 2–3 tomato slices
- 2 sandwich bread slices or buns
- Optional: 2 slices of cheddar or pepper jack cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken and bacon: Start by cooking your chicken breast thoroughly, either by grilling or pan-searing until golden and fully cooked through. Simultaneously, cook your bacon strips in a skillet until crisp, then chop both into bite-sized pieces that will melt perfectly into the sandwich.
- Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped chicken and bacon with ranch dressing. Stir well to combine the creamy dressing with the savory meats, ensuring each bite is flavorful and smooth.
- Assemble your sandwich: Lay out your bread or buns and layer on fresh lettuce and tomato slices. Spoon the chicken-bacon-ranch mixture generously on top, adding optional cheese if you like. Close the sandwich and press gently to hold everything together.
- Toast or serve as is: If you prefer, give your sandwich a quick toast in a pan or sandwich press until the bread is lightly crisp and the cheese slightly melts, making every mouthful extra comforting.
Notes
- Use warm chicken for the best flavor absorption when mixing with bacon and ranch.
- Don’t add too much ranch dressing to avoid sogginess.
- Lightly toast the bread to prevent sogginess and add crunch.
- Season the chicken lightly before cooking to enhance flavor.
- Customize textures by adding veggies like cucumber or bell peppers for extra freshness and crunch.
