⏱️ Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes
🍽️ Servings: 4 hearty sandwiches
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped (grilled or rotisserie works best)
6 slices crispy bacon, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Monterey Jack)
½ cup ranch dressing (plus extra for serving)
½ cup lettuce, finely chopped
1 small tomato, diced
¼ cup red onion, finely chopped (optional)
For the Sandwich:
4 large hoagie rolls, sub rolls, or ciabatta
2 tablespoons butter, softened (for toasting)
Extra ranch dressing for drizzling
Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Cook the bacon:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool before chopping into small pieces.
2. Prepare the chicken:
If using fresh chicken, season lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then cook until golden and juicy. Chop into bite-sized pieces. (Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for convenience!)
3. Make the filling mix:
In a large bowl, combine chopped chicken, crispy bacon, shredded cheese, diced tomato, lettuce, and red onion (if using). Add ranch dressing and mix until everything is well-coated and creamy.
4. Toast the bread:
Slice the hoagie rolls in half and spread butter on the inside. Toast on a skillet or in the oven until golden and slightly crisp.
5. Assemble the sandwiches:
Spoon the chicken bacon ranch mixture generously into each toasted roll. Drizzle with extra ranch dressing and sprinkle with fresh parsley or green onions.
6. Serve & enjoy:
Cut in half, serve with fries, chips, or a side salad, and enjoy every bite of this flavor-packed sandwich!
Tips & Variations:
✅ Use turkey bacon for a lighter option.
✅ Swap cheddar for mozzarella, provolone, or pepper jack.
✅ Add avocado slices for extra creaminess.
✅ Make it a wrap instead of a sandwich using large tortillas.
