Ingredients

  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 slices crispy bacon
  • 0.5 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 pieces whole-grain sandwich rolls
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for cooking tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and place the chicken in the hot skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  3. While the chicken cooks, fry the bacon in a separate pan until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
  4. Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
  5. Meanwhile, cut the sandwich rolls in half and toast them lightly in the skillet for added crunch (optional).
  6. Spread a generous layer of ranch dressing on the bottom half of each sandwich roll.
  7. Layer the sliced chicken on top of the ranch, followed by the crispy bacon, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Drizzle a little extra ranch dressing on top of the cheese if desired, then close the sandwich with the top half of the roll.

💡 Chef's Notes

Serve the sandwiches with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. Wrap each sandwich with parchment paper or foil to hold everything together for a rustic look. Enjoy!
