Notes
- Save yourself some time by using shredded rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own chicken breast.
- Not a fan of spice? Skip adding the chipotle seasoning to the ranch dressing.
- You can play with the toppings and add others. Chopped red onion and diced tomatoes would also be delicious on this.
- Not a bacon fan? Skip it.
