Chicken Nugget Bacon Ranch Club Recipes

CHICKEN CLUB RANCH ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. (It's OK if they overlap a little.) Bake until browned but still pliable, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer the bacon with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, garlic powder, onion powder and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl until combined; set aside.
• Set up a breading station with the flour in 1 medium bowl, the beaten egg in another medium bowl and the panko in a third. Generously season the chicken tenders with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Dredge the tenders in the flour a few pieces at a time. Tap off the excess flour before dipping the tenders into the egg. Allow the excess egg to drip off, then coat the tenders in the panko. Set the breaded chicken on a plate. Repeat until all the tenders have been coated.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the chicken in a single layer. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes, then flip. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and browned on the other side, 3 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.
• Lay out a flatbread with the shorter side facing you. (If your flatbread seems dry, moisten it slightly with a damp paper towel.) Spread half the ranch dressing on the bottom third. Line the wrap with half the bacon strips, then add half the chicken crosswise. Top the chicken with 2 pieces of lettuce, also crosswise. Starting from the bottom, roll everything up into as tight a spiral as possible without ripping the wrap, leaving the seam on the bottom. Place toothpicks into the roll at 1-inch intervals all the way through to the bottom to secure everything in place. Cut, in between the toothpicks, into even slices. Repeat with the remaining flatbread.

CHICKEN BACON RANCH PANINI

Steps:

• Fry the chicken breasts in 1 tablespoon butter and the canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until done in the middle, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
• To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of mustard on half of the bread slices. Spread a generous amount of ranch dressing on the other half. (Definitely be generous; when the sandwiches cook, these will turn into more of a "sauce.")
• On the ranch-covered slices of bread, place a slice of cheese, a piece of chicken, 2 slices of bacon and a second slice of cheese. Top each with the mustard-covered slice of bread. Butter the outsides of the bread generously with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, then grill in a panini maker. (If you do not have a panini maker, you can grill the sandwiches in a skillet, laying a heavy skillet on top of the sandwiches to press them together. Turn to grill the other side in the same way.)
• Slice the sandwiches in half and gobble them down immediately.
