Chicken Bacon Ranch Shredded Chicken Sandwiches (Kristi Original)

My sister in law has been very very sick for 6 months. I was looking for a meal that would be easy to make for me and easy to rewarm as they needed food. This is what I came up with. Success!

Ingredients

2 Lbs Cooked Chicken Shredded (I did a few pounds)

1-2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

2 Tbsp Bacon Bits - as much as you like

Ranch Salad Dressing (I used Light House Homestyle Ranch) - As much as you need to get the chicken saucy.

Salt and Pepper to Taste

2 Tbsp Butter

Instructions

I cooked the chicken in the instant pot for 20 minutes with 1 cup of chicken broth. Then I shredded the chicken breast, melted in butter and added in all of the other ingredients. It can be used cold or warmed. We ate it on buns. 

Cheesy Bacon Ranch Mashed Potatoes (Kristi Original)

I had some left over mashed potatoes, so I thought I'd give them an opportunity to shine again. You could do this recipe with new mashed potatoes or left overs. My son told me I should make a cook book for all my recipes after trying this one. ❤ Unfortunately I don't measure cook, I do more of a dumping creative cooking approach. That makes it harder for people to follow. Do your best! This one is great.

Ingredients

3-5 Lbs Mashed Potatoes

Milk or Cream - Pour in enough to help the consistency of the potatoes to be what you like

1-2 Tbsp Butter

1-2 Tbsp Bacon Bits (I just sprinkled in as much as I wanted)

1-2 Cups Shredded Cheese

3 Long Squeezes - Ranch Salad Dressing (I used Light House Home Style) I just poured in a bunch. I tried it as I went for a taste test

Shake of Salt if needed

1 Tsp Garlic

1/2 Tsp Pepper

Instructions

Rewarm the mashed potatoes or make new potatoes. Take the hot potatoes and add all of the ingredients. Serve and Enjoy!
