Tom's Salsa Ranch Chicken Sandwich

CandyTX's Note:

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.
