Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken chopped into 1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces about 1 rotisserie chicken breast
- 8 slices bacon cooked until crispy and crumbled 8-10 minutes if cooking from raw
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 2 tbsp butter softened
- 4 hoagie rolls 6 to 8-inch or sandwich buns
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 8 slices tomato 2 per sandwich patted dry
- 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, stir together the chopped chicken, crumbled bacon, and ranch dressing until everything is well mixed and coated.
- Spread the softened butter on the cut sides of the rolls to ensure they stay crisp.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat and place the buttered sides of the rolls down, toasting them for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn a golden brown.
- Take the rolls off the skillet and let them rest for a minute to keep the lettuce fresh.
- Evenly distribute the chicken mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted rolls.
- Add shredded lettuce, two tomato slices, and some thinly sliced red onions on top of the chicken.
- Place the top halves of the rolls on the sandwiches and gently press to secure all the fillings.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately while the bread is warm and crisp for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For best results, use rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken
- The chicken mixture can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator
- To prevent soggy sandwiches, always pat tomato slices dry and toast the rolls until crispy
- This sandwich pairs beautifully with sweet potato fries coleslaw or a simple garden salad
- The 30-minute total time assumes you’re using pre-cooked chicken and bacon
- If cooking bacon from raw, add an additional 10 minutes
