Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chopped chicken (about 10–12 oz) Rotisserie or shredded + chopped works well
- 4 slices bacon Cooked until crispy and crumbled
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing Adjust to taste; use Greek yogurt-based ranch for tang
- 1 fresh baguette (about 10–12 inches) Alternatively, use gluten-free baguette or ciabatta roll
- to taste lettuce or baby spinach Optional, for crunch and color
- to taste tomato slices Optional, for brightness
Instructions
Preparation
- If your bacon isn’t cooked yet, fry or bake 4 slices until crispy, then drain and crumble.
- Chop or shred 2 cups of cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Mix Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, crumbled bacon, and 1/2 cup ranch dressing.
- Stir until the chicken is evenly coated. Taste and add a little more ranch or a pinch of salt and pepper if needed.
Prep the Bread
- Cut the baguette in half lengthwise. Toast lightly under a broiler or in a toaster oven for 2–3 minutes if you prefer a little crunch and structure.
Assemble
- Spoon the chicken and bacon mixture onto the bottom half of the baguette, spreading it evenly.
- Layer lettuce or spinach and tomato slices over the filling if using. Top with the baguette lid.
Serve
- Press gently, cut into portions, and serve immediately.
Notes
Store leftover filling in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Keep bread separate to avoid sogginess. The chicken-bacon-ranch mixture can be frozen for up to 2 months.
