Chopped Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich (Printer-Friendly)

Tender chicken, crispy bacon, and ranch dressing meet in a soft bun with fresh lettuce and tomato for a hearty meal.

# What You’ll Need:

→ For the Chicken and Bacon Filling

01 - 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
02 - 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until crisp and chopped
03 - 1/4 cup ranch dressing
04 - 2 teaspoons olive oil
05 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ For Serving

07 - 4 sandwich buns or potato rolls
08 - 1 cup shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
09 - 1 medium ripe tomato, diced

# Steps to Make This:

01 - Dice chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange chicken pieces in a single layer and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fully cooked with no pink inside.
02 - Lay bacon slices in a cold skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until bacon is browned and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel to drain, then chop or crumble into small pieces.
03 - Return cooked chicken to skillet if removed. Add chopped bacon and pour in ranch dressing. Stir gently to coat chicken and bacon evenly in dressing. Warm for 1 to 2 minutes to meld flavors.
04 - Split sandwich buns. Place bottom halves on plate and top with shredded lettuce and a generous layer of diced tomato.
05 - Spoon warm chicken bacon ranch filling over the salad-topped buns. Cover with top half of buns and press gently so fillings settle. Repeat for remaining sandwiches.
06 - Serve sandwiches while warm, accompanied by chips, pickles, or a simple salad if desired.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Store the chicken bacon ranch mixture separately from bread and vegetables; reheat gently before assembling fresh sandwiches to maintain texture.
02 - Swap in boneless chicken thighs or shredded rotisserie chicken as a substitute for breasts. Greek yogurt-based ranch can provide a lighter option.
03 - Thick-cut, extra-crispy bacon enhances the sandwich's overall indulgence and texture.
