Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast (34 chicken breasts)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning

Bacon and Toppings

  • 4 ounces bacon
  • 1 heart Romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with olive oil and ranch seasoning. Mix well to coat evenly and set aside to marinate while preparing other ingredients.
  2. Cook the bacon: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon strips and cook for 5-6 minutes, flipping occasionally, until crispy. Remove cooked bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  3. Cook the chicken: In the same skillet with the bacon grease, place the marinated chicken breasts in a single layer. Cook without moving for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on one side. Flip the chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking the chicken for 4-6 minutes or until fully cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165˚F).
  4. Assemble and serve: Remove chicken from heat and top each breast with a slice of tomato, a slice of crispy bacon, chopped Romaine lettuce, and a drizzle of ranch dressing. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F for safe consumption.
  • Use thick-cut bacon for extra flavor and crispiness.
  • You can substitute ranch seasoning with your favorite spice blend if desired.
  • For added crunch, lightly toast the chick in the skillet before cooking.
  • Leftover cooked chicken can be refrigerated and used in salads or sandwiches.
