– 2 tablespoons butter
Creating your own Crispy Bacon Ranch Chicken Melt can be quite straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it’s crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and the ranch seasoning.
3. Cook Chicken: In the same skillet, add a little oil if needed and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown on the outside. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
4. Slice Chicken: Once the chicken has rested for a few minutes, slice it into thin strips.
5. Assemble the Melt: Spread ranch dressing on one side of each slice of bread. Layer one slice with chicken, bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Top with another slice of bread, ranch side down.
6. Butter the Outside: Spread butter on the outside of each sandwich.
7. Grill the Sandwich: In the skillet, cook the sandwiches over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
8. Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove from the skillet, slice, and enjoy!
