A delicious and easy-to-make Chopped Chicken Bacon Ranch Sub featuring seasoned grilled chicken, crispy bacon, and creamy ranch dressing layered on fresh sub rolls with lettuce and tomatoes.

Ingredients

Chicken and Bacon

  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 6–8 slices of crispy bacon

Other Ingredients

  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 4 sub rolls
  • Fresh lettuce (to taste)
  • Sliced tomatoes (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill chicken for 7 minutes per side until cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat and let rest before chopping into small pieces.
  2. Cook the Bacon: In a separate pan, cook bacon over medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side until crispy. Drain excess grease and chop bacon into small pieces.
  3. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine chopped chicken, crumbled bacon, and ranch dressing. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Prepare the Rolls: Slice sub rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Toast rolls lightly if desired for extra texture and flavor.
  5. Assemble the Subs: Generously fill each roll with the chicken-bacon-ranch mixture. Add fresh lettuce and sliced tomatoes according to your taste preferences.
  6. Serve: Serve the subs immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, season the chicken with garlic powder or smoked paprika before grilling.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked safely to 165°F internal temperature.
  • Feel free to substitute ranch dressing with a low-fat or vegan version if preferred.
  • Toast the sub rolls on the grill for a smoky finish.
  • Add pickles or onions for additional crunch and flavor if desired.
