Step-by-Step Instructions for Chopped Chicken Bacon Ranch
  1. Cook Bacon: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bacon slices and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and reserve some bacon fat in the pan.
  2. Prepare Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Increase skillet heat to medium-high, adding olive oil or butter if needed.
  3. Cook Chicken: In the same skillet, cook seasoned chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes on each side until browned and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from skillet and let rest.
  4. Warm Bread (Optional): Lightly toast the inner sides of your bread in the skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes.
  5. Assemble Sandwich: Spread ranch dressing on both sides of the warm bread. Layer chopped chicken, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, and optional extras. Close and cut in half.
