Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Use boneless, skinless for best results.
  • 8 slices Thick-Cut Bacon Regular bacon can be substituted, but it won’t be as crispy.
  • 1 cup Fresh Tomatoes Sub with roasted red peppers if tomatoes are not available.
  • 2 cups Shredded Lettuce Use spinach for a different flavor profile.
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese Sub with shredded cheddar for a sharper taste.
  • 1/2 cup Ranch Dressing Greek yogurt ranch can be used for a tangy twist.
For the Sub Rolls
  • 4 rolls Sub Rolls Toasting is crucial—use gluten-free rolls for a gluten-free option.
For Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons BBQ Rub Mix your favorite spices for customized flavor.

Equipment

  • Grill
  • skillet
  • Cutting Board
  • sharp knives

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by patting the boneless, skinless chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Generously rub the chicken with your favorite BBQ seasoning, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  2. Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat, allowing it to reach about 375°F. Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. While the chicken is resting, prepare your sub rolls by grilling them lightly or placing them in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 4-5 minutes until they turn golden and crispy.
  4. On a clean cutting board, layer the freshly shredded lettuce, diced chicken, crispy, thick-cut bacon, and juicy tomato slices. Use two sharp knives to chop everything together until well mixed.
  5. Incorporate some salt, pepper, shredded mozzarella cheese, and a generous drizzle of ranch dressing over the chopped mixture. Toss and chop the ingredients a bit more to blend everything evenly.
  6. Scoop the vibrant chicken and bacon mixture onto your toasted rolls, making sure each sandwich is generously filled. Serve immediately for the best experience.
