Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 breasts boneless, skinless chicken diced into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tbsp cajun seasoning
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
- 1 tsp smoked paprika or regular
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 2/3 tsp black pepper
- 1 4 bacon grease or oil
- 3 tbsp salted butter melted
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 2/3 cup ranch dressing
- 1 1/2 cups shredded colby cheese
- 7 slices cooked bacon cut in half
- 2 3 green onions sliced (optional)
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine diced chicken breasts, cajun seasoning, ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until chicken is fully coated.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add bacon grease and seasoned chicken. Sauté until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Cut the sub loaves in half lengthwise and place the bottom halves on a baking sheet. Scoop out some bread from the middle to create a hollow for toppings.
- Mix melted salted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley. Brush this mixture on the cut sides of the bread.
- Spread ranch dressing on each bread half.
- Top with cooked cajun chicken, shredded colby cheese, bacon slices, and green onions.
- Place the top halves of the bread on the subs.
- Combine melted butter and dried parsley for the optional topping. Brush this mixture over the subs.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.
- Slice and serve hot.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add some hot sauce or jalapeños to the subs before baking.
