CHICKEN BACON RANCH GRILLED CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Cook Bacon (3 slice) in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, allow to sit and then drain off excess grease.
• Cut each cooked bacon slice in half.
• Spread Butter (2 tablespoon) on one side of each slice of Italian Bread (2 slice).
• Take one slice of bread, butter side down and slather the other side of the bread with Ranch Dressing (1 tablespoon) (or a tad bit more if you like).
• Place half of the Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese (2 ounce) on top of the ranch.
• Layer on the Roasted Chicken (3 ounce) and bacon. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
• Slather remaining slice of bread with remaining Ranch Dressing (1 tablespoon) and place on top of the cheese, ranch side down, and butter side up.
• Place the sandwich on a panini press and cook until bread is golden brown and cheese is melty.If you do not have a panini press, place non-stick skillet over medium heat. Transfer sandwich to a skillet and cook until bread becomes golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
• Carefully flip sandwich and cook the other side of the sandwich until golden brown. You may need to place a heavy pan atop the sandwich when you are grilling it to weigh it down and help it stick together.
• Remove from panini press or skillet, slice in half, and enjoy immediately.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon, flipping once, until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat from the skillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Return skillet to medium-high heat, add chicken and cook until golden and just cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.  Reduce heat to medium and sprinkle chicken with ranch seasoning and top with mozzarella. Cover the skillet and cook, until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes.  Crumble and sprinkle bacon and chives on top before serving.
