Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 slices of turkey bacon

1 packet ranch seasoning mix
2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sour cream
¼ cup chopped red onion

¼ cup chopped celery
½ cup chopped lettuce
½ cup diced tomato

2 hoagie rolls

Instructions

Step 1: Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Cook them for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
Step 2: In a separate pan, cook the turkey bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and ranch seasoning mix. If you have pre-made ranch dressing, you can substitute it for the seasoning mix by mixing it with the mayo and sour cream.
Step 4: Chop the rested chicken into small pieces and add to the bowl with the ranch mixture. Add chopped red onion, celery, lettuce, and diced tomato, then gently toss to combine.
Step 5: Fold in the chopped turkey bacon, reserving some for topping if desired. Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, keeping a hinge if preferred. Fill each roll generously with the chicken ranch mixture and add any remaining bacon or lettuce on top before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use rotisserie chicken for a faster option without cooking the chicken breasts.
Add a little shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese for extra richness.
For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.

Try adding chopped pickles or jalapeños for a tangy or spicy twist.

Storage

Store leftover chopped chicken ranch filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the hoagie rolls separate until ready to serve to prevent sogginess. Reheat the filling gently in the microwave or enjoy it cold as a sandwich spread.
