Chicken Bacon Ranch Bake

I don't know about you, but Quick & Easy is my dinner motto during the week.  When I saw this open faced sandwich on Tasty Kitchen I knew it fit the bill. Since I am a planner, I cooked the chicken the night before and mixed everything else in it when I got home. Dinner was on the table in less than 30 minutes! I love that during the week!  This sandwich was really good. We both ate too much of it. Give it a try for a quick dinner or easy lunch!

(Printable Recipe)

• 1 pound chicken, cooked and shredded
• 2 whole green onions, sliced
• 2/3 cups ranch dressing (more or less to taste)
• 1/2 whole loaf of French bread (cut whole loaf in half lengthwise and just use one half)
• 2 whole roma tomatoes, sliced
• 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 cup grated monterey jack cheese

Preheat oven to 400F.

In a medium bowl, combine chicken, green onions, bacon and enough ranch dressing to make a chicken salad.  Scoop and spread onto bread. Top with tomato slices and sprinkle with cheese.  Bake just until cheese is bubbly and golden. (I put it under the broiler for a minute to brown the cheese after it was warm)  Cut into slices and serve.
