Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Bread and Extras
- 4 sandwich rolls or hoagie buns
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting)
- Lettuce and tomato slices (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the sandwiches.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Prepare the Rolls: Slice each sandwich roll or hoagie bun lengthwise and place them open-faced on a baking sheet. If desired, spread butter on the inside of each roll for extra flavor and a golden toast.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Evenly spoon the chicken mixture onto the bottom halves of the rolls, distributing the filling to ensure each sandwich has a generous amount.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the filling is hot throughout.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the oven. Optionally, add lettuce and tomato slices on top of the filling, then close each sandwich with the top half of the roll. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor twist.
- For a crispier texture, try toasting the fully assembled sandwiches in a skillet or panini press instead of baking.
