Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken and Bacon: Cook chicken breast until fully cooked and juicy, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Cook bacon until crispy and chop roughly. These form the main protein base for the sandwich.
- Chop the Fresh Vegetables: Dice the fresh lettuce, slice the tomato, and finely chop the red onion to add freshness and crunch.

- Cook bacon until extra crispy for satisfying crunch.
- Drain excess ranch dressing to avoid soggy sandwiches.
- Toast buns lightly to enhance texture and prevent sogginess.
- Prep ingredients in advance and mix just before serving for convenience.
