# What You’ll Need:

01 -
4 slices of thick bacon
02 -
1 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

Dry ranch seasoning mix, 2 teaspoons

→ For Assembly
07 -
2 tablespoons of softened butter
08 -
4 sandwich buns or thick slices of bread
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set a skillet on medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy for around 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then crumble it up.
02 -
Give each chicken breast a sprinkle of salt and pepper. In the same pan, cook the chicken over medium heat for 6–7 minutes on each side until it's golden and cooked thoroughly.
03 -
Dust the ranch seasoning over the hot chicken, sprinkle it with cheese, and cover the pan with a lid for about 2–3 minutes until melty.
04 -
Spread butter on the outsides of the buns. Put together the sandwiches with the cheesy chicken and crispy bacon.
05 -
In another skillet, toast the sandwiches over medium heat. Press them down lightly and flip until both sides are crispy and golden, which should take 2–4 minutes a side.
06 -
Serve up the sandwiches while they're warm. Add some ranch or your favorite sauce if you'd like.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For extra creaminess, mix about a tablespoon of ranch sauce into the melted cheese when constructing the sandwich.
