Preparing Cheddar Bacon Ranch Chicken Melt
Making this sandwich is straightforward and uncomplicated, yet packed with flavor. You’ll start by cooking the chicken to perfection and slicing it up before combining it with ranch dressing. The next step is layering it generously between slices of Texas toast, finished off by toasting it until golden brown and melty. This method ensures that every bite is cheesy and delicious.
What you’ll need
- 8 slices Texas toast (or thick white bread)
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cheddar cheese, sliced
- Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Ranch dressing
Feel free to swap out the Texas toast for any thick bread you might have on hand, and the cheddar can be replaced with your favorite cheese if you’re feeling adventurous!
