Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or rotisserie chicken)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.5 tablespoons ranch seasoning
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 0.5 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • meat thermometer
  • Meat mallet

Method
 

Prepare the Chicken
  1. If using raw chicken, pat dry, pound to even thickness, and rub with a mixture of olive oil and ranch seasoning. If using rotisserie chicken, shred and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and ranch seasoning.
Crisp the Bacon
  1. Fry bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy (about 3 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels, but keep the rendered fat in the skillet.
Cook the Chicken
  1. If using raw chicken, cook in the skillet with bacon fat over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Rest before slicing.
Toast the Buns
  1. Wipe the skillet clean and toast the buns for about 1 minute until golden brown.
Assemble the Base
  1. Spread ranch dressing on the bottom halves of the toasted buns and top with a mound of shredded lettuce.
Layer and Finish
  1. Arrange sliced chicken over the lettuce, followed by Cheddar cheese and crispy bacon. Add a bit more ranch to the top bun, close, and press gently to secure.
