Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 1 French baguette or Italian bread roll

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped
  • 4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onions
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for melting the cheese on the sandwich.
  2. Prepare the bread: Slice the French baguette or Italian bread roll lengthwise, keeping one side connected to act as a hinge for easy assembly.
  3. Spread ranch dressing: Evenly spread a layer of ranch dressing on the inside of the opened bread to add creamy flavor and moisture.
  4. Mix chicken: In a bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken breast with salt, pepper, and some additional ranch dressing to taste, ensuring the chicken is flavorful and moist.
  5. Layer chicken: Evenly spread the ranch-coated chicken mixture on one side of the bread.
  6. Add bacon: Sprinkle the cooked, crumbled bacon over the chicken layer for a salty, crispy element.
  7. Top with cheese: Spread shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bacon to prepare for melting.
  8. Bake the sandwich: Place the assembled open sandwich on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Add fresh toppings: Remove the sandwich from the oven and top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sliced red onions, and optional pickled jalapeños for crunch and freshness.
  10. Serve: Close the sandwich, cut into portions, and serve immediately while warm and melty.

Notes

  • You can substitute ranch dressing with a low-fat or Greek yogurt-based dressing for a lighter option.
  • Pickled jalapeños are optional but add a nice tangy heat if you enjoy spice.
  • Using freshly cooked and chopped chicken breast adds more flavor and moisture than pre-packaged chicken.
  • For a crispier bacon texture, bake bacon strips separately in the oven before crumbling.
  • Feel free to toast the bread slightly before assembling for extra crunch.
