Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwiches



Here is a quick and easy dinner idea,

these sandwiches are very simple to make but are so delicous.


What you will need:


1 Lg. or 2 Sm. Chicken Breasts

(I buy the ones at Costco and they are giant so I cut one in half)

Buns

8-10 stips of Bacon-cooked

Avocados

Provolone Cheese

Ranch

Lettuce (optional)

Tomatoes (optional)


Trim your chicken really well and put into a large ziploc bag. Take your meat tenderizer (or you could use a hammer if you don't have one) and pound it until it's flat. You don't have to do this step if you like your meat thick, but I prefer not to have to bite into an inch of meat.



Next, salt and pepper and cook your chicken using whatever method you prefer. I use the George Forman grill cause it's super easy but you can bake it or fry it also



That is basically all there is to it. You can toast your buns and melt the cheese over your chicken if you want to. Slice an avocado and some tomatoes. Put a little bit of ranch on your bun first so it isn't quite so dry. Grant likes to put some Brianna's honey mustard on his bun. It is very delicous just don't look at the calories. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, avocados (be generous) and the bacon. Then drizzle ranch over the whole thing.



Tip: I highly recommend making your own ranch from the Hidden Valley packet using buttermilk. It is the only ranch the Howe family will eat and once you do, you won't ever buy bottled ranch again.
