Ingredients
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 6 slices of cooked bacon
– 1/4 cup ranch dressing
– 4 slices of bread (your choice)
– 2 tablespoons butter
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional: lettuce, tomato, or avocado for garnish
Instructions
To create your Easy and Cheesy Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich, follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
2. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
3. Combine with Ranch: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the ranch dressing, ensuring all the chicken is well-coated.
4. Prepare Meanwhile: Cook the bacon in the skillet until crispy. This will only take a few minutes, so keep an eye on it!
5. Assemble the Sandwich: Take two slices of bread and spread butter on one side of each slice. On the non-buttered side of one slice, layer the shredded chicken mixture, bacon pieces, and shredded cheese. Place the other slice on top, buttered side up.
6. Grill the Sandwich: Heat the skillet over medium heat again. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down with a spatula for even melting.
7. Melt the Cheese: Once the sandwich is golden, and the cheese is melted, remove it from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute before slicing.
8. Serve: Prepare more sandwiches as desired, and enjoy a meal bursting with flavor!
