Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 slices bacon
Dressing
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (or 2 tablespoons prepared ranch dressing)
Vegetables
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- ½ cup finely chopped celery
- ½ cup finely chopped lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, diced
Other
- 1 hoagie/sub sandwich roll (about 8–10 inches)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the inside is no longer pink and the outside is golden brown. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
- Cook and Chop the Bacon: While the chicken rests, cook the bacon in a separate pan over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the Ranch Dressing Mixture: In a mixing bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, and ranch seasoning mix. If using prepared ranch dressing instead of seasoning mix, simply combine it with mayonnaise and sour cream.
- Prepare and Combine the Filling: Chop the rested chicken into small pieces and add it to the bowl with the ranch dressing mixture. Add the finely chopped red onion, celery, lettuce, and diced tomato. Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.
- Add the Bacon and Assemble Your Sandwich: Fold the chopped bacon into the chicken and vegetable mixture, reserving some bacon for topping if desired. Slice the hoagie roll lengthwise, leaving a hinge if preferred. Fill the roll generously with the chopped chicken bacon ranch mixture and top with extra bacon or lettuce if you like.
- Serve: Enjoy your sandwich immediately for the best taste and freshness, perfect as a quick lunch or simple dinner option.
Notes
- You can substitute the hoagie roll with your favorite bread, such as a brioche bun or whole grain roll.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat mayonnaise and sour cream or Greek yogurt instead.
- Adjust the ranch seasoning amount to suit your taste preferences or use a homemade ranch dressing for a fresher flavor.
- Consider adding avocado slices or pickles for extra texture and taste variety.
- If preferred, cook chicken breasts in advance and chill to save time when assembling the sandwich.
