Prepare the Chicken

Begin by seasoning the thinly sliced chicken breasts with the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the seasoned chicken until it’s golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once the chicken is done, set it aside to cool slightly.

Assemble the Melt

Preheat your grill or griddle to medium heat. Spread a generous amount of ranch dressing on one slice of bread or bun. Top with the cooked chicken, followed by the crispy turkey bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Place the second slice of bread or bun on top.

Grill to Perfection

Lightly butter the outer sides of the bread or buns. Carefully place the assembled melt on the preheated grill or griddle and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-5 minutes per side. Keep a close eye on the sandwich to prevent burning.

Serve and Enjoy

Once the Crispy Bacon and Ranch Chicken Melt is perfectly grilled, carefully remove it from the heat and serve it hot. Pair it with your favorite side dishes, such as a fresh salad, crispy fries, or a tangy coleslaw, for a complete and satisfying meal.
