Citrus Bacon Ranch Chicken Ciabatta Sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Chicken Thighs (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 Orange (zest and juice)
  • 1 Lemon (zest and juice)
  • 1/3 cup Plain Yogurt
  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp. Fresh Dill (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp. Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
  • Ciabatta or Baguette (sliced in half and toasted)
  • 6-8 Cooked Bacon Slices
  • 1 English Cucumber (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tsp. Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp. Fresh Dill (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Ranch
  • Arugula (for serving)
  • Pickled Onions (for serving)

Steps

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken, orange zest and juice, lemon zest and juice, yogurt, olive oil, 2 tablespoons chopped dill, Dijon, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to coat the chicken in the marinade.

  2. 2

    Cook in an Air Fryer at 400F for 15 minutes. Take out the chicken to slice into bite-sized pieces. Place back in the air fryer with the addition of the bacon to cook until chicken edges are golden, and bacon is crispy, for 8-10 more minutes.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, toss together the thinly sliced cucumbers, 1 tablespoon olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and 2 tablespoons fresh dill. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Slice the ciabatta loaf in half lengthwise. Remove as much bread stuffing.

  5. 5

    If desired, drizzle both sides with olive oil and toast in the oven under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, until toasted.

  6. 6

    On the bottom half of your toasted bread, add a generous slather of the ranch then layer with the chicken and bacon, thinly sliced cucumbers, arugula, pickled onions and the top slice of the bread. Enjoy warm!
