RANCH CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup Dijon mustard (or country/grainy mustard)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
Crushed red pepper, for sprinkling, optional
1 pound thick-cut bacon, sliced in half
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
8 soft whole grain buns

Steps:

  • With a very sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts in half down the middle. This will result in 8 chicken breast pieces that are thinner and uniform in size.
  • Next, make the marinade. In a large bowl mix together the honey, mustard, paprika, salt, pepper to taste, lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge, 2 to 4 hours.
  • While the chicken marinates, fry up the bacon until chewy. When finished cooking, reserve 1/4 cup of the bacon grease and pour off the rest of the grease (but do not clean the skillet).
  • When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the marinade and cook it in the skillet over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Brush a little reserved bacon grease on the chicken as you cook it. (Or you can grill the chicken breasts on an indoor or outdoor grill.)
  • When a couple of minutes grilling time are left, lay 2 pieces of bacon onto each chicken breast. Top with some Cheddar and allow it to melt on the grill (if you need to remove the chicken you can finish melting the cheese under the broiler).
  • Halve the rolls and immediately load with the bacon-and-cheese covered chicken.

EASY CUCUMBER PARTY SANDWICHES



Easy Cucumber Party Sandwiches image

These easy, beautiful, yummy sandwiches are perfect for brunches, tea parties or spring and summer lunches. Can be prepared ahead of time and assembled just before serving. This is an easy appetizer to prepare the day before, except for the assembly. The cream cheese mixture is actually better after about 8 hours. Feel free to experiment with the dressing; we prefer the buttermilk dressing but ranch or Italian works great, too. Also, cocktail bread can be substituted for the hand-cut bread, which will save 10 to 15 minutes.

CHICKEN BACON RANCH SANDWICH ROLL RECIPE BY TASTY



Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich Roll Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: bacons, Frank's Red Hot Original, white sandwich bread, egg, chicken, ranch dressing, monterey jack cheese, baby spinach, ranch butter, butter, ranch dressing

Provided by Griffin Bohen-Meissner

Categories     Lunch

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 bacons, depending on bacon width
⅓ cup Frank's Red Hot Original
12 slices white sandwich bread
1 egg, whisked
¾ lb chicken, thin deli-sliced
½ cup ranch dressing
½ lb monterey jack cheese, thinly sliced
baby spinach, handful
ranch butter
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons ranch dressing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  • Lay out bacon slices on a parchment-lined sheet tray. Generously brush each slice with Frank's Red Hot Original. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bacon is browned and cooked through. Drain bacon on a paper towel, keeping the hot sauce brushed side facing up. Set aside.
  • Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a large cutting board (the entire board should be covered with plastic). Place 1 slice of bread in the upper left corner of the board. Brush the right edge of the bread with whisked egg, then place a second slice of bread next to the first so that it overlaps with the egg wash. Press the two seams of bread together with fingers to seal. Repeat with the rest of the bread, forming 3 rows of 4 slices, brushing with egg wash and pressing to seal wherever the slices overlap. This will form a large rectangle of bread.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll out the bread rectangle as thinly as possible.
  • In the center of the rectangle, lay out half of the chicken in a row. Top with a drizzle of ranch dressing. Arrange half of the bacon slices on top (horizontally), followed by half of the sliced cheese and half of the spinach. Repeat layering with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Brush the top edge of the sandwich roll with whisked egg. Roll the entire sandwich up from the bottom to form a long log. Wrap log tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Lower oven temperature to 350ºF.
  • Mix together melted butter and ranch in a small bowl. Unwrap the sandwich log, place on a sheet tray, and brush sandwich surface with ranch butter.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, until bread is lightly golden and cheese is melted.
  • Slice and serve. (Optional: Serve with more ranch for dipping.)
  • Enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
2 to 3 dashes hot sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 5-to-6-ounce chicken cutlets
1 small clove garlic
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or scallions
4 slices pepper Jack cheese
4 kaiser or onion rolls, split and toasted
Lettuce leaves and tomato slices, for topping
Potato chips, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Combine 1/4 cup buttermilk, the hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat; let stand 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the ranch sauce: Mince the garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt on a cutting board; mash with the flat side of a chef's knife to make a paste. Combine the garlic paste, mayonnaise, vinegar, the remaining 2 tablespoons buttermilk and the chives in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the chicken to the grill, letting the excess marinade drip off. Grill until marked on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes, then flip the chicken, top each piece with a slice of cheese and continue grilling until just cooked through, 2 to 4 more minutes.
  • Spread each roll with some of the ranch sauce and fill with the chicken, lettuce and tomato. Serve with potato chips.

RANCH HAND SANDWICHES



Ranch Hand Sandwiches image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h20m

Yield 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 15

Bacon jam, for spreading
6 deli rolls, split
Pop Pulled Pork, recipe follows
6 slices country ham
6 slices pepper jack cheese
Bread and butter pickles, for topping
2 onions, sliced
One 3-pound pork butt (pork shoulder roast)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
One 12-ounce can pop (I use Dr. Pepper)
One 18-ounce bottle BBQ sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Spread bacon jam on the bottom half of each deli roll. Then layer on some shredded Pop Pulled Pork and a slice of country ham and pepper jack. Add bread and butter pickles, top with the other half of the roll and wrap in paper.
  • Place the onion slices in the bottom of a slow cooker. Sprinkle the pork with the salt, pepper and garlic powder, then place it on top of the onions. Crack open the can of pop and pour it over the whole thing. Add the whole bottle of BBQ sauce and the hot sauce, then add the brown sugar to the liquid and stir.
  • Put on the lid, set the slow cooker to high and cook for 6 hours. When it's done, the pork will be dark and weird and wonderful. It'll also be fork-tender. That's when you know it's done.
  • Remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred completely. Spoon the fat from the sauce. Return the meat to the slow cooker and keep in the sauce until ready to serve. Divine!
