Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.
- 300 g chicken breast fillets
- 4 rashers streaky bacon
- Ranch dressing: ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp sour cream, 1 tsp lemon juice, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, 1 tbsp chopped dill and chives
- 2 long white sub rolls (about 30 cm each)
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 tomato, thinly sliced
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- Salt and cracked pepper
Method
- Season the chicken and grill or pan-fry 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through. Rest 5 minutes, then slice.
- Fry the bacon until crisp and drain.
- Stir the ranch dressing ingredients together and chill while the chicken rests.
- Split the rolls without cutting all the way through and warm 3 minutes in a low oven.
- Layer the chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato and onion, then drizzle generously with ranch. Tip: make the ranch while the chicken rests — it needs those few minutes for the garlic and herbs to bloom — and slice the chicken after resting, or it dries out before it reaches the roll.
