Looking for another simple yet outrageously tasty chicken sandwich to add to your rotations? Look no further…
Chicken, Bacon and Ranch
Literally 3 of my favourite things in the world. But when you combine them and shove them inside a sandwich?! Yeah we’re not playing games today.
Chicken
Good old trusty leftover rotisserie chicken does the trick here. That or you can fry up a couple of breasts, let them cool & dice ’em up.
Bacon
You can use any cut of bacon you fancy, smoked or unsmoked. Here I use 8 rashers of unsmoked streaky bacon. That’s two rashers per sarnie.
Ranch
Just use your regular favourite ranch dressing brand. I find most brands over here in the UK tend to be a little too ‘tangy’ so I actually like to add a tbsp of sour cream. Completely optional.
Process shots: add chicken, bacon, ranch, celery, spring onion, sour cream, salt & pepper to a bowl (photo 1), use a spatula to stir and combine (photo 2).
Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich
When it comes to the sandwich you’ll only need two extra fillings: a big fresh crunchy leaf of round lettuce and 2 thick juicy slices of beef tomato. That’s it. Let the chicken bacon ranch filling work its magic undistracted!
Butter, of course.
Spreading both slices of bread with butter will help create a barrier and help prevent the bread going soggy.
Season the Tomatoes!
A good pinch of salt and pepper on the tomatoes works absolute wonders. However, only do this if you’re serving the sandwich right away, otherwise the salt will draw out the moisture from the tomatoes and make the sandwich soggy.
Process shots: butter bread (photo 1), add lettuce (photo 2), add tomatoes (photo 3), add chicken bacon ranch mix (photo 4).
Serving Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwiches
Can I make this ahead of time?
Like always, sandwiches are always best served fresh. But, you can absolutely make the chicken bacon ranch mix ahead of time. Just cover and leave in the fridge until needed. If you make the whole sandwich ahead of time just remember to not salt the tomatoes.
- Crisp/Chip Recommendation: Any sort of spicy flavour works nicely, Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations or Flamin’ Hot Doritos.
- Side Recommendation: Sweet Potato Wedges work beautifully with this sandwich!
Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full recipe for this chicken bacon ranch sandwich shall we?!
