RANCH CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup Dijon mustard (or country/grainy mustard)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
Crushed red pepper, for sprinkling, optional
1 pound thick-cut bacon, sliced in half
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
8 soft whole grain buns

Steps:

  • With a very sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts in half down the middle. This will result in 8 chicken breast pieces that are thinner and uniform in size.
  • Next, make the marinade. In a large bowl mix together the honey, mustard, paprika, salt, pepper to taste, lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge, 2 to 4 hours.
  • While the chicken marinates, fry up the bacon until chewy. When finished cooking, reserve 1/4 cup of the bacon grease and pour off the rest of the grease (but do not clean the skillet).
  • When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the marinade and cook it in the skillet over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Brush a little reserved bacon grease on the chicken as you cook it. (Or you can grill the chicken breasts on an indoor or outdoor grill.)
  • When a couple of minutes grilling time are left, lay 2 pieces of bacon onto each chicken breast. Top with some Cheddar and allow it to melt on the grill (if you need to remove the chicken you can finish melting the cheese under the broiler).
  • Halve the rolls and immediately load with the bacon-and-cheese covered chicken.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 c all purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp parsley flakes
5 eggs whisked
5 c seasoned panko breadcrumbs
8 bulkie rolls
8 thinly sliced chicken breast

1 packet ranch dressing (or more to taste)
peanut oil enough for pan frying
3 c shredded lettuce
2 beefsteak tomatoes (or of your choice)
1 small vidalia or sweet onion, sliced

Steps:

  • 2. In another bowl, whisk eggs and set aside.
  • 3. In third bowl, place seasoned panko bread crumbs.
  • 4. Dredge the chicken breast in flour on both sides until covered. Then dip floured chicken breast in egg so that it is covered and then put chicken in panko bread crumbs and coat both sides (make sure to press panko breadcrumbs in so they stick). Set in a plate and complete the same steps with the rest of the chicken breasts.
  • 5. Mix ranch dressing mix with sour cream (in container so if you don't use it all, you already have a container with a cover to save it for another use)
  • 6. slice your vegetables. (I sometimes purchase my lettuce already shredded if I don't feel like doing it myself)and put them on serving plates.
  • 7. Add peanut oil to a large frying pan. Enough so that about a quarter of the bottom of the pan is covered.
  • 8. Fry chicken breast over medium heat about 2-4 minutes per side. (until lightly browned) then set aside on a plate with paper towel to drain.
  • 9. When all the chicken is fried, add monterey jack slices to both sides of bulkie roll on a cookie sheet and broil just long enough for the cheese to melt and become bubbly.
  • 10. When the bulkie rolls are ready, place ranch dressing, chicken, tomatoe, lettuce, and onion on top of bulkie roll and enjoy!

Tips

  • Use fresh chicken breasts. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the best choice for this recipe. They cook quickly and evenly, and they have a mild flavor that will allow the other ingredients to shine through.
  • Marinate the chicken breasts overnight. This will help to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can try a more complex marinade with buttermilk, yogurt, or spices.
  • Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. Cook the chicken for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Use a good quality ranch dressing. The ranch dressing is a key component of this sandwich, so it's important to use a good quality dressing. You can use a store-bought dressing or you can make your own. If you're making your own dressing, be sure to use fresh herbs and spices.
  • Load up the sandwich with your favorite toppings. In addition to the ranch dressing, you can also top the sandwich with lettuce, tomato, bacon, cheese, or anything else that you like.

Conclusion

Ranch chicken sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they're also great for parties and picnics. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a ranch chicken sandwich that will be sure to please everyone.
