Monterey Ranch Chicken Sandwiches image

I made these sandwiches that I tweaked from another recipe my mom used to make. My family absolutely loves them and they are a much requested dinner by friends and family alike. I hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think!! This recipe can be adjusted by how many sandwiches you need. Add more or less chicken and you can use...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 c all purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp parsley flakes
5 eggs whisked
5 c seasoned panko breadcrumbs
8 bulkie rolls
8 thinly sliced chicken breast
16 slices monterey jack cheese
16 ounces sour cream
1 packet ranch dressing (or more to taste)
peanut oil enough for pan frying
3 c shredded lettuce
2 beefsteak tomatoes (or of your choice)
1 small vidalia or sweet onion, sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Mix flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • 2. In another bowl, whisk eggs and set aside.
  • 3. In third bowl, place seasoned panko bread crumbs.
  • 4. Dredge the chicken breast in flour on both sides until covered. Then dip floured chicken breast in egg so that it is covered and then put chicken in panko bread crumbs and coat both sides (make sure to press panko breadcrumbs in so they stick). Set in a plate and complete the same steps with the rest of the chicken breasts.
  • 5. Mix ranch dressing mix with sour cream (in container so if you don't use it all, you already have a container with a cover to save it for another use)
  • 6. slice your vegetables. (I sometimes purchase my lettuce already shredded if I don't feel like doing it myself)and put them on serving plates.
  • 7. Add peanut oil to a large frying pan. Enough so that about a quarter of the bottom of the pan is covered.
  • 8. Fry chicken breast over medium heat about 2-4 minutes per side. (until lightly browned) then set aside on a plate with paper towel to drain.
  • 9. When all the chicken is fried, add monterey jack slices to both sides of bulkie roll on a cookie sheet and broil just long enough for the cheese to melt and become bubbly.
  • 10. When the bulkie rolls are ready, place ranch dressing, chicken, tomatoe, lettuce, and onion on top of bulkie roll and enjoy!

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup Dijon mustard (or country/grainy mustard)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
Crushed red pepper, for sprinkling, optional
1 pound thick-cut bacon, sliced in half
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
8 soft whole grain buns

Steps:

  • With a very sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts in half down the middle. This will result in 8 chicken breast pieces that are thinner and uniform in size.
  • Next, make the marinade. In a large bowl mix together the honey, mustard, paprika, salt, pepper to taste, lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge, 2 to 4 hours.
  • While the chicken marinates, fry up the bacon until chewy. When finished cooking, reserve 1/4 cup of the bacon grease and pour off the rest of the grease (but do not clean the skillet).
  • When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the marinade and cook it in the skillet over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Brush a little reserved bacon grease on the chicken as you cook it. (Or you can grill the chicken breasts on an indoor or outdoor grill.)
  • When a couple of minutes grilling time are left, lay 2 pieces of bacon onto each chicken breast. Top with some Cheddar and allow it to melt on the grill (if you need to remove the chicken you can finish melting the cheese under the broiler).
  • Halve the rolls and immediately load with the bacon-and-cheese covered chicken.

CHICKEN BACON RANCH SANDWICH ROLL RECIPE BY TASTY



Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich Roll Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: bacons, Frank's Red Hot Original, white sandwich bread, egg, chicken, ranch dressing, monterey jack cheese, baby spinach, ranch butter, butter, ranch dressing

Provided by Griffin Bohen-Meissner

Categories     Lunch

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 bacons, depending on bacon width
⅓ cup Frank's Red Hot Original
12 slices white sandwich bread
1 egg, whisked
¾ lb chicken, thin deli-sliced
½ cup ranch dressing
½ lb monterey jack cheese, thinly sliced
baby spinach, handful
ranch butter
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons ranch dressing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  • Lay out bacon slices on a parchment-lined sheet tray. Generously brush each slice with Frank's Red Hot Original. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bacon is browned and cooked through. Drain bacon on a paper towel, keeping the hot sauce brushed side facing up. Set aside.
  • Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a large cutting board (the entire board should be covered with plastic). Place 1 slice of bread in the upper left corner of the board. Brush the right edge of the bread with whisked egg, then place a second slice of bread next to the first so that it overlaps with the egg wash. Press the two seams of bread together with fingers to seal. Repeat with the rest of the bread, forming 3 rows of 4 slices, brushing with egg wash and pressing to seal wherever the slices overlap. This will form a large rectangle of bread.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll out the bread rectangle as thinly as possible.
  • In the center of the rectangle, lay out half of the chicken in a row. Top with a drizzle of ranch dressing. Arrange half of the bacon slices on top (horizontally), followed by half of the sliced cheese and half of the spinach. Repeat layering with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Brush the top edge of the sandwich roll with whisked egg. Roll the entire sandwich up from the bottom to form a long log. Wrap log tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Lower oven temperature to 350ºF.
  • Mix together melted butter and ranch in a small bowl. Unwrap the sandwich log, place on a sheet tray, and brush sandwich surface with ranch butter.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, until bread is lightly golden and cheese is melted.
  • Slice and serve. (Optional: Serve with more ranch for dipping.)
  • Enjoy!
