This meal is NOT for the faint of heart and I will not try and figure out how many calories are in this sandwich.  I will however say how darn tasty it was – the combination of the flavors are just drool worthy.  If the sandwich itself wasn’t bad enough for me, I had to make the homemade ranch that I came across today on One Good Thing’s blog to dip the sandwich in.  I modified it a bit, reduced the mayonnaise by half and omitted the salt.  It was wicked and I will never buy ranch dressing ever again.

Ingredients for sandwich:

French bread

Rotisserie chicken meat

Avocado

Tomato

Apple cured bacon

Cheddar cheese

Fry up the bacon and layer everything into the bread.  Place the whole sandwich into a panini maker on high and grill until the cheese is melted.

Ingredients for ranch dressing:

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup real mayonnaise

2 tablespoons minced chives

1/4 cup minced flat leaf parsley

2 cloves of garlic minced

1-2 tablespoons buttermilk

Smash the minced garlic up a bit and combine all the above ingredients in a small bowl and add buttermilk until desired consistency is reached.

6 relatively innocent looking ingredients….

Makes one very tasty sandwich….

Add homemade ranch…and I’m going to be swimming for quite a while to work this off!
