A delicious and easy-to-make chicken bacon ranch sandwich with crispy bacon, seasoned grilled chicken, and a creamy ranch spread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb total)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 4 thick slices sourdough or artisan bread
  • 2 tbsp butter (for toasting bread)
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • 1–2 cups lettuce (romaine, iceberg, or mixed greens)
  • 1/3 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, makes it extra creamy)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. Pat chicken dry. Season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 5–7 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until the internal temp hits 165°F. Rest 5 minutes, then slice.
  3. Stir together ranch, mayo (optional), lemon juice (optional), and a pinch of pepper to make the ranch spread.
  4. Butter one side of each bread slice. Toast in a skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp.
  5. Spread ranch mixture on the inside of the toast. Layer lettuce, tomato slices, sliced chicken, and bacon. Top with the other slice of toast.
  6. Press lightly, slice in half, and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bacon for extra crunch.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
  • If preferred, swap sourdough for brioche or ciabatta.
