Directions
Pioneer Woman Ranch-Style Chicken, From the blog of The Pioneer Woman. It’s yummy. I let the chicken in the marinade overnight., This is a hit with my husband and kids. The marinade is wonderful. I do agree with another poster that frying it in bacon grease takes away a lot of the flavor of the marinade. I have made it with using the bacon grease and without, and without is by far a favorite here., I scaled this back for using only 1 chicken breast for 2 people. We really enjoyed this sandwich! used sesame topped buns from the grocery bakery and subbed swiss cheese slices for cheddar. I also put a slice of purple onion on each sandwich then wrapped them in foil for about 30 minutes before serving like Ree suggested on the show. The sandwich is so big that 1/2 was perfect for me and about 300 cal which is not bad at all. I served it with her marinated tomato salad. The other 1/2 was perfect for lunch after I wrapped it in a paper towel and microwaved for 30 sec. Thanks for posting!
