Tom's Salsa Ranch Chicken Sandwich

Submitted by CandyTX

"Tom made this up one day (one of those day before grocery shopping days!). It has become 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 in an ooey gooey chicken sandwich that makes this girl's heart sing :-)"

This was a big winner! I included all of the optional toppings and used wheat bread, fat free homemade ranch dressing, and lessened the amount of cheese to our taste. Thanks for sharing!

Delicious! And i dont usually like sandwiches at all. I made my own salsa ranch but used more salsa than ranch because I dont like ranch as much. I just wish id had the lettuce on hand.

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!

Great sandwich! Followed this exactly except I used thin scallopini chicken breast slices, and quickly saute'd them in a non-stick skillet. The skillet already warm, so I just put the buttered sides of bread down, added chicken & the salsa / ranch dressing, tomato, and cheese to the top. I also included some thinly sliced sweet Walla onion, and flipped over and warmed and browned the other side. Scrumptious! I used my own salsa, and made this Recipe #261991 dressing. Talk about delicious! Thanks so much for a wonderful lunch!
