# What You’ll Need to Make This:
→ Main
01 -
8 slices thick-cut bread
02 -
2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts
03 -
8 slices bacon
04 -
200 grams shredded cheddar cheese
05 -
120 millilitres ranch dressing
06 -
Salt, to taste
07 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
# How to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil and arrange bacon slices in a single layer. Bake for 15–20 minutes until crisp, then place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
02 -
Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until thoroughly cooked and golden. Set aside to cool slightly, then slice into thin strips.
03 -
Place 4 slices of bread on a baking tray. Evenly layer with sliced chicken, crispy bacon, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
04 -
Drizzle ranch dressing over the cheese and fillings. Place the remaining 4 bread slices on top to form sandwiches.
05 -
Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese over each sandwich. Bake in the preheated oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the sandwiches are heated through, and the tops are golden.
06 -
Remove from the oven and let cool for several minutes. Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Cook bacon in advance for quick assembly, and season chicken with herbs for added depth.
02 -
For variation, include sliced tomatoes or avocado in the filling.
03 -
For lighter options, substitute turkey bacon or grilled chicken.
04 -
Evenly distribute toppings to ensure balanced flavour in every bite.
05 -
Leftover components can be stored separately for fresher sandwiches later.
