Ingredients (Makes 2 Sandwiches)

- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing (or ranch seasoning + splash of milk)

How to Make Crack Chicken Grilled Cheese
1. Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, mix together chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, bacon, and green onions until creamy and well combined.
2. Prep the Bread
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place two slices butter-side down on a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
3. Assemble the Sandwich
Spoon a generous layer of crack chicken mixture onto each slice of bread. Sprinkle extra cheese on top if desired, then top with remaining bread (butter-side up).
4. Grill Until Golden
Cook 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden brown and the filling is hot and melty.
5. Rest, Slice & Serve
Let the sandwiches rest for a minute, then slice and serve warm.
