Chimichicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich

I had a lot of leftovers from the various things I'd cooked up and found a fantastic way to make another savory treat.
Delicious grilled chicken? Crispy Bacon? Chimichurri Ranch? A nice winter afternoon grilling session?
Let's kick this thing off.

1 panino roll
1 raw chicken breast
3 pieces bacon
2 oz cheese (I used the Smoked Peppercorn White Cheddar)
1 tbsp chimichurri
3 tbsp buttermilk ranch
lettuce
tomato
salt and pepper

Get a grill fired up!

I prefer thinner pieces of chicken on a sandwich, so I filleted the chicken breast into 2 pieces. I then hit both sides of both pieces with a generous amount of salt and pepper.

Mix up the chimichurri and ranch. Grate the cheese. Slice the bun.

Toss the chicken on when the grill is plenty fiery.

When the chicken is ready to be flipped, do it! At this point you should also add the bacon to the grill, top the flipped chicken with the cheese(might need to wait a bit if you don't fillet the chicken breast), and put the bun on the grill. Flip the bacon after a minute or two. Add the chimichurri ranch to the top bun after it's toasted.

Build that beast and enjoy!

Homestyle Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

I made the Buffalo Beef and Hot Sauce Gravy, and had a sandwich in mind. At this point I knew I needed something to cool it down. I did some research and would have never imagined making ranch dressing is this simple.

3/4 cup mayo
3/4 cup sour cream
1-2 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp chopped chives
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp coarsely ground pepper
1/4 + cup buttermilk

Put it all together. Whisk it all up. Get it in something you can serve it out of. I finished up a thing of squeeze mayo, so that's where mine ended up.

Amazing flavor. So much better than anything from the store. You can really taste the spices and the olive oil. Never thought it would be 1/2 this easy.
