Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb bacon, chopped (my local grocer carries raw "bacon pieces" that we use for this)
1 1/2-3 lb chicken breasts, cut no bigger than about 3/4-1 inch pieces
2 clove garlic, minced
1/2 dry ranch dressing mix
1/4 c onion, diced
1/4 c bell pepper, diced (optional)
1 c shredded cheese (your favorite, we choose pepper jack or sharp white cheddar)
1/2 c ranch dressing (approx)
sandwich rolls, wraps, hoagie rolls, etc. whatever you want to build this on
salt and pepper to taste
lettuce, sliced tomato, chopped scallions or onion, banana peppers, etc (all optional)

Steps:

1. In a large skillet, cook the bacon until done, reserving the grease. Set aside on a paper towel to absorb excess fat.
2. In the same pan, add the bacon grease, garlic, diced onion, diced pepper, chicken and the dry ranch dressing mix. Cook until the chicken is done and starting to lightly brown. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary. Set aside to rest on a paper towel to blot off any extra grease.
3. Assemble the sandwiches by scooping on some chicken, a sprinkle of cheese, drizzle some ranch dressing, a scoop of bacon pieces, a sprinkle of cheese, and if you choose, your veggies and top off with a drizzle of ranch dressing.
