Ingredients
- 6 Thin boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoon Dry ranch mix

- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
Nutrition disclaimer: Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary by ingredients, brands, and portion sizes. Use them as a general guide, not a guarantee.
Don't overcook chicken: Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F for juicy, tender results.
Quick bacon tip: Save time by using pre-cooked, microwavable, or make-ahead bacon.
Grill options: Perfect on an outdoor grill or a stovetop grill pan—both get great grill marks and flavor.
Customize your toppings: Add cheese, avocado, tomatoes, or extra ranch to suit your taste.
Make it ahead: Cook chicken and bacon in advance and store in the fridge for 3–4 days for a fast weeknight dinner.
