Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken chopped into 1/2 to 3/4 inch pieces about 1 rotisserie chicken breast
  • 8 slices bacon cooked until crispy and crumbled 8-10 minutes if cooking from raw
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 tbsp butter softened
  • 4 hoagie rolls 6 to 8 inch or sandwich buns
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 8 slices tomato 2 per sandwich patted dry
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Mix the chopped chicken, crispy bacon pieces, and ranch dressing in a medium bowl until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. Spread softened butter over the inside halves of the hoagie rolls to keep them from becoming soggy and add flavor.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and place the buttered rolls face-down to toast until they turn golden and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Remove the rolls from the pan and let them cool slightly for a minute to avoid wilting the lettuce.
  5. Distribute the chicken mixture evenly on the bottom halves of the toasted rolls.
  6. Add shredded lettuce, two tomato slices, and some thinly sliced red onion on top of the chicken mixture.
  7. Cover each sandwich with the top roll and gently press to hold everything in place.
  8. Serve the sandwiches immediately while the bread is warm and crisp for the best experience.

Notes

  • For best results, use rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken
  • The chicken mixture can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator
  • To prevent soggy sandwiches, always pat tomato slices dry and toast the rolls until crispy
  • This sandwich pairs beautifully with sweet potato fries coleslaw or a simple garden salad
  • The 30-minute total time assumes you’re using pre-cooked chicken and bacon
  • If cooking bacon from raw add an additional 10 minutes
