Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 loaf focaccia bread cut into 8 pieces
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts cooked & sliced
  • 4 slices white cheddar cheese
  • 8 slices bacon cooked & chopped

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Chicken Breast - If you are cooking chicken breast - my favorite way is to marinate in Mojo Criollo overnight and then air fry for 12-15 minutes until chicken is 160º. This will add to your prep time if you're making from scratch. But leftover chicken (from the grill!) will work as well!
  • Preheat oven to Low Broil
  • Slice focaccia loaf in half across the middle and then into quarters to make four sandwiches.
    1 loaf focaccia bread
  • On a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, open focaccia bread. On the bottom slices, lay out one slice cheddar on each slice of bread. On the top slices, spread out ranch dressing
    1/4 cup ranch dressing, 4 slices white cheddar cheese
  • Place baking sheet in the oven to melt the cheese and toast the buns for 3-4 minutes. Watch closely as broil can go quickly.
  • Remove from oven and layer on sliced chicken and crumbled bacon.
    2 cooked chicken breasts, 8 slices bacon
  • If you are using pre-cooked chicken and bacon that are cold - you can warm before adding to sandwich in the microwave or place sandwich open faced back in the oven at 375º for 7 minutes.
  • Add more ranch to the top of the chicken and place sandwich halves together and enjoy!
