Chicken Bacon Ranch Grilled Cheese

Chicken..bacon..cheese and ranch dressing. Whats not to love? Thank you Fork Vs Spoon

2 Slices thick cut crusty bread.
3 Slices Bacon, cut in half so you have 6 pieces of bacon
2-3 Tablespoons Ranch Dressing
2 Tablespoons Butter
3-4oz. Leftover Roasted Chicken, thinly sliced
1-2oz. Extra Sharp Cheddar, thinly sliced
Extra Ranch Dressing for dipping – if you are like me and LOVE ranch.

• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. 
• Transfer bacon to a papertowel lined plate (to drain excess grease) and drain off grease. 
• If you do not have a panini press (join the club!), use a skillet to make the grilled cheese.
• Butter one side of each slice of bread.
• Take one slice of bread, butter side down and slather the other side of the bread with 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing 
• Place half of the cheese on top of the ranch. 
• Layer on chicken and bacon. 
• Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
• Slather remaining slice of bread with remaining ranch dressing 
• Place atop the cheese, ranch side down, butter side up.
• Place sandwich on panini press and cook until bread is golden brown and cheese is melty.. or..
• If you do not have a panini press, place non-stick skillet over medium heat. 
• Transfer sandwich to skillet and cook until bread becomes golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. 
• Carefully flip sandwich and cook the other side of the sandwich until golden brown. 
• You may need to place a heavy pan atop the sandwich when you are grilling it 
• It will smash it down a bit and helps stick it all together.
• Remove from skillet, slice in half, and enjoy immediately.
