Tom's Salsa Ranch Chicken Sandwich

Recipe #171623 | 8 min | 3 min prep | add private note

Tom made this up one day (one of those day before grocery shopping days!). It has been come a staple lunch meal in this household ever since. It's great because you can buy a bag of those precooked boneless chicken breasts and toss a lunch together. Note that these ingredient amounts ARE correct, the sandwich ends up being very messy, you can cut back if you want, but there's just something an ooey gooey chicken sandwich that makes this girl's heart sing

I didn't have salsa ranch so I just mixed my own. I also used provolone instead of cheddar since Provolone is my favorite melty cheese. This was a pretty good sandwich, I toasted it on my panini grill. Thanks for posting!

    Awesome sandwich! My family really loved these. They turned out so moist and flavorful and couldn't be easier. I used thin chicken breasts. Delish!

    Wow - very good. Not the usual dry chicken sandwich and I love the fact that it is grilled. I used 2 chicken tenders instead of 1 chicken breast, 1 slice of mulitgrain bread sliced in half and buttered with SmartBalance spread, I also only used 1/8 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on each half (if even that much), I mixed 2 tablespoons of salsa with 2 tablespoons of fat free ranch dressing. Lower in calories and still quite tasty! Will make this again! Thanks for posting. Made for the I Recommend Tag game.

    My whole family went nuts over these burgers, thanks, Tom! Candy, it WAS kind of messy, but when it tastes this good we didn't even care! The chicken breasts I had were huge, so I sliced them horizontally...we can have these sammies again tomorrow, YAY! Hubby grilled them on the BBQ, I mixed ranch dressing with picante sauce...Sssshhhhh, don't tell picky daughter I subbed some of the dressing with "Lite Ranch", and this sauce is to die for. I made this for ZWT3, but we will enjoy this often! Thanks Tom and Candy!
