These chicken bacon ranch sub sandwiches are quick & easy to whip up, and bursting with fresh flavor. Save this Subway copycat to make at home next time a craving for your favorite subs strikes!

$5, $5 foot long … you know the jingle I’m sure.

It’s a great deal, especially for such a generously proportioned sandwich. And not surprisingly, none of our kids have any trouble putting one down in mere minutes.

They’re easy, they’re good, and with children who inhale their food, the price is right on point for us.

But with kids always on the go, I can’t always justify the expense of fast food.

So naturally, I found a way to recreate them at home.

Everyone agreed they taste just like the original, even better!

While we may not always agree on all the additional toppings, we all agree these subs are always a grab and go hit.

Ingredients Needed

You’ll only need a handful of ingredients to make this Subway copycat.

Rolls – I use sub or hoagie rolls, but you could also make these using a baguette or even a loaf of Italian bread. Just make sure you’re bread’s fresh.
Chicken – Preferably strips of grilled chicken, but in a pinch you could also use leftover chopped rotisserie chicken.
Bacon – You want several strips of crispy bacon, crisp being important. I recommend 2-3 strips per sub.
Cheese – Use your favorite sandwich cheese, and you’ll need 2-3 slices. We like using American or Pepper Jack on these subs.
Toppings – Use whatever toppings you enjoy- our favorites include: lettuce, sliced red onion, sliced tomatoes, pickle chips, salt & pepper.
Ranch Dressing – Either store bought or homemade ranch dressing will work on these.

How To Make

Start by carefully cutting your sub roll evenly in half, lengthwise, using a serrated bread knife.

Transfer the roll to a baking sheet.

Top the bottom half with several strips of grilled, or rotisserie, chicken. You want even coverage.

Add strips of crispy bacon to cover the chicken. Make sure the bacon’s crispy.

Place 2-3 slices of cheese evenly out over the bacon.

Place the baking sheet in the oven under the broiler, just until the cheese has slightly melted & the top bun’s golden brown and crispy.

You need to watch the subs while they’re under the broiler, because the broiler can take something from perfectly melted to burnt very quickly.

Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven.

Transfer the sandwich to a waiting plate, and pile your favorite veggies on top.

We like to use thinly sliced red onion, lettuce, tomato slices, and dill pickle chips- plus a sprinkle of salt & pepper.

Drizzle ranch dressing over the dressed sub, then top with the other half of the roll.

Slice if half, or serve whole, and enjoy!

Storing

Leftover subs will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

These chicken bacon ranch subs can also be made ahead of time, and wrapped in parchment paper to be used for grab and go lunches.

If you want to make sure your subs don’t get soggy, wait to add the ranch dressing until just before eating.

TIPS & TRICKS

Don’t like a toasted bun or melted cheese? You can totally skip that step.
Chopped rotisserie chicken tastes delicious on these sub sandwiches!
As written, this recipe makes one sub sandwich- but it can easily be doubled or tripled to make more. Similarly, if serving for a light lunch or snack- you can cut the subs into smaller servings.
