Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 8 slices bacon Adds crunch and savory flavor; substitute with turkey bacon for a lighter option.
  • 2 breasts boneless, skinless chicken Provides lean protein; using rotisserie chicken can save you time.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Creates a melty, gooey texture; feel free to swap for provolone or mozzarella.
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing Adds creamy tang and moisture; opt for a low-fat version for a healthier alternative.
  • 8 slices bread Choose hearty or rustic bread for better structure, or whole grain for added nutrition.
Optional Additions
  • 1 cup spinach Introduces freshness and extra nutrition.
  • 1 cup tomatoes Adds freshness; can be used as a layer in the sandwich.
  • 1 cup gouda or pepper jack cheese Experiment with various cheese types to enhance flavor!

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Place the bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
  3. While the bacon is baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  4. Transfer the crispy bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  5. Slice the chicken into thin strips against the grain.
  6. On a clean baking sheet, lay out 4 slices of bread and layer with chicken strips, crispy bacon, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
  7. Drizzle ranch dressing over the cheese and add any optional ingredients.
  8. Top with remaining slices of bread and bake again for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melty and bubbly.
  9. Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
