Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons butter, for toasting bread
- 4 slices of sourdough or Texas toast
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly.
- Spread the chicken and bacon mixture onto two slices of bread. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and place the other two slices on top.
