Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 thighs Grilled Chicken Use thighs for deeper flavor or rotisserie chicken for quick prep.

  • 1 cup Ranch Dressing Store-bought or homemade enhances the sub's taste.
  • 2 cups Lettuce Shredded iceberg or romaine adds fresh crunch.
  • 2 medium Tomato Use ripe, fresh tomatoes for juiciness, sliced thin for layering.

Equipment

  • grill
  • Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season chicken thighs with your favorite BBQ rub. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Grill chicken for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until internal temp is 165°F. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  2. While the chicken is grilling, heat a skillet over medium heat and add thick-cut bacon strips. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease and let cool before chopping.
  3. Prepare fresh toppings: shred lettuce and slice tomatoes thinly. Arrange on a cutting board.
  4. Chop grilled chicken into small pieces. Add crispy bacon and ranch dressing, then chop everything together to mix flavors.
  5. Transfer mixture to a bowl, add shredded mozzarella cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
  6. Stuff the chopped chicken-bacon mixture into toasted sub rolls. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

For the best flavor and texture, use high-quality chicken and fresh produce. Assemble the sub just before serving to keep the bread from getting soggy. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
