Ham and Swiss.
Ice cream and hot fudge.
There are just certain ingredients that go so well together, we being to automatically combine them in our minds.
Chicken + Bacon + Ranch is definitely one of those combinations. If you are a fan of ranch dressing, I’m sure you’ve found a variety of items to put it on aside from your standard garden salad. Personally, I believe bacon is a welcome addition to just about any meal and chicken is so versatile that you can add it to just about anything.
Combining these three flavors into a salad was a no brainer.

Directions:
1. Remove meat from the rotisserie chicken and dice.

If you are serving for a crowd, a large glass bowl or trifle dish would be a great vessel to use to show off all of the ingredients within. I made this for my lunch each week and kept everything in separate containers in the fridge. Each morning I transferred everything into one bowl and took it to work.
