Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Breads and Base:
- 2 sub rolls
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for toasting)
Toppings and Condiments:
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Carefully slice sub rolls lengthwise, creating a sturdy base for the sandwich. Optionally enhance flavor by lightly brushing interior with olive oil and quickly toasting until achieving a delicate golden-brown crispness.
- In a mixing vessel, amalgamate tender chopped chicken fragments with crispy crumbled bacon pieces. Generously coat the mixture with creamy ranch dressing, ensuring uniform distribution of flavors.
- Create a robust foundation by spreading the chicken-bacon blend evenly across the bottom sections of the prepared rolls, establishing a hearty base layer.
- Strategically layer shredded cheddar cheese atop the chicken mixture, allowing the warmth to slightly melt the dairy component. Introduce fresh, crisp lettuce, vibrant diced tomatoes, and zesty red onion slices to provide textural contrast and additional flavor dimensions.
- Complete the culinary construction by positioning the roll’s top halves, gently pressing to integrate ingredients. Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture, or securely wrap for convenient transportation and enjoyment.
Notes
- Toast rolls for extra crunch by brushing with olive oil and browning on a skillet, enhancing the sandwich’s texture and flavor profile.
- Customize chicken mixture by using rotisserie chicken for quick preparation or grilled chicken for a healthier protein option.
- Reduce calories by substituting Greek yogurt for ranch dressing and using turkey bacon as a leaner alternative to traditional bacon.
- Prepare ingredients ahead of time for faster assembly, making this an excellent meal prep option for busy weekdays or quick lunches.
