Toms Salsa Ranch Chicken Sandwich Recipes

SALSA RANCH CHICKEN WRAPS

Steps:

• Spread 1/3 c. chicken down the center of each tortilla.
• Top chicken with Ranch dressing and salsa, 1 Tbsp. per tortilla.
• Sprinkle with shredded cheese, dried basil and garlic powder. (I'm pretty liberal with the basil and garlic powder- it's what gives it a good flavor!)
• Fold each tortilla by bringing the two sides in over the filling. Then bring the bottom end up tightly over the filling and roll to the top, ending with the seam side of the wrap down.
• Melt butter in skillet. Place folded wraps in skillet, seam side down.
• Cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and cheese is melted.

RANCH CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• With a very sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts in half down the middle. This will result in 8 chicken breast pieces that are thinner and uniform in size.
• Next, make the marinade. In a large bowl mix together the honey, mustard, paprika, salt, pepper to taste, lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine.
• Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge, 2 to 4 hours.
• While the chicken marinates, fry up the bacon until chewy. When finished cooking, reserve 1/4 cup of the bacon grease and pour off the rest of the grease (but do not clean the skillet).
• When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the marinade and cook it in the skillet over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Brush a little reserved bacon grease on the chicken as you cook it. (Or you can grill the chicken breasts on an indoor or outdoor grill.)
• When a couple of minutes grilling time are left, lay 2 pieces of bacon onto each chicken breast. Top with some Cheddar and allow it to melt on the grill (if you need to remove the chicken you can finish melting the cheese under the broiler).
• Halve the rolls and immediately load with the bacon-and-cheese covered chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Combine 1/4 cup buttermilk, the hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat; let stand 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the ranch sauce: Mince the garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt on a cutting board; mash with the flat side of a chef's knife to make a paste. Combine the garlic paste, mayonnaise, vinegar, the remaining 2 tablespoons buttermilk and the chives in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the chicken to the grill, letting the excess marinade drip off. Grill until marked on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes, then flip the chicken, top each piece with a slice of cheese and continue grilling until just cooked through, 2 to 4 more minutes.
• Spread each roll with some of the ranch sauce and fill with the chicken, lettuce and tomato. Serve with potato chips.
