Ingredients
6 slices of mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 cups cooked shredded or grilled chicken
1/4 cup cooked bacon (2-3 slices)
1 tablespoon low-carb ranch dressing
1 teaspoon finely sliced green onion
Instructions:
Combine shredded chicken, cooked bacon, ranch dressing, and green onions in a bowl. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
Arrange the mozzarella slices on the silicone baking mat. Bake for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about a minute until still pliable but cool enough to handle.
Spread the chicken bacon ranch mixture along one edge of each mozzarella slice. Roll up tightly, with the seam side down.
There are many ways to customize Chicken Bacon Ranch Roll-Ups to fit your taste.
You can switch the mozzarella for other cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or Swiss, or add a spicy kick with hot sauce or red pepper flakes.
For added texture and freshness, consider mixing in finely chopped vegetables like spinach or bell peppers.
Fresh herbs like parsley or dill can also enhance the flavor.
If you want to change up the protein, turkey, ham, or leftover rotisserie chicken work well too.
For a perfect roll-up, use pre-cooked chicken to save time, and work quickly to roll the cheese while it’s still pliable after baking.
If you prefer a crispier texture, let the cheese cool slightly longer before rolling.
These roll-ups can be stored in the fridge for up to three days and reheated in the oven or skillet to maintain their crispiness.
Whether you’re serving them as an appetizer or snack, these tips and variations will ensure delicious results every time!
To store Chicken Bacon Ranch Roll-Ups, first allow them to cool completely.
Once cooled, place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, place the roll-ups in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or reheat them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through and the cheese is crispy again.
Avoid microwaving, as it can make the cheese soft and soggy.
If you need to freeze them, store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months, and reheat them directly from frozen in the oven for the best texture.
