Ingredients
  

Sandwich Components
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast 680g, sliced into cutlets
  • 6-8 slices Thick-cut Bacon Fried until crispy
  • 1/2 cup Thick Creamy Ranch Sauce 120ml
  • 1 tsp Cracked Black Pepper 2g, freshly cracked
  • 2 large Hoagie Rolls Soft, golden-brown sub rolls
  • 1 cup Iceberg Lettuce 75g, shredded
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion 40g, finely diced

Equipment

  • 1 Cast-Iron Skillet For searing chicken and bacon
  • 1 Large Chef's Knife Essential for the chopping method
  • 1 Large Wooden Cutting Board

Method
 

Prepare the Proteins
  1. Season chicken cutlets and sear in a hot skillet for 5-6 minutes per side until golden-brown charred edges appear. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Fry bacon until dark reddish-brown and very crispy. Drain and break into jagged pieces.
The Chop Method
  1. Place chicken, shredded lettuce, and diced onion on a board. Chop together until chicken is in bite-sized chunks.
  2. Drizzle with ranch sauce and black pepper. Continue chopping and folding until the mixture is thick and heavily coated.
Assembly
  1. Toast buttered hoagie rolls. Scoop the overflowing chicken mixture into the rolls and top with jagged bacon pieces.

Notes

Use refrigerated ranch for the best thickness.
Pat the lettuce dry before chopping to prevent a soggy sandwich.
