Steps:
- With a very sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts in half down the middle. This will result in 8 chicken breast pieces that are thinner and uniform in size.
- Next, make the marinade. In a large bowl mix together the honey, mustard, paprika, salt, pepper to taste, lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine.
- Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge, 2 to 4 hours.
- While the chicken marinates, fry up the bacon until chewy. When finished cooking, reserve 1/4 cup of the bacon grease and pour off the rest of the grease (but do not clean the skillet).
- When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the marinade and cook it in the skillet over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Brush a little reserved bacon grease on the chicken as you cook it. (Or you can grill the chicken breasts on an indoor or outdoor grill.)
- When a couple of minutes grilling time are left, lay 2 pieces of bacon onto each chicken breast. Top with some Cheddar and allow it to melt on the grill (if you need to remove the chicken you can finish melting the cheese under the broiler).
- Halve the rolls and immediately load with the bacon-and-cheese covered chicken.

Steps:

- 2. In another bowl, whisk eggs and set aside.
- 3. In third bowl, place seasoned panko bread crumbs.
- 4. Dredge the chicken breast in flour on both sides until covered. Then dip floured chicken breast in egg so that it is covered and then put chicken in panko bread crumbs and coat both sides (make sure to press panko breadcrumbs in so they stick). Set in a plate and complete the same steps with the rest of the chicken breasts.
- 5. Mix ranch dressing mix with sour cream (in container so if you don't use it all, you already have a container with a cover to save it for another use)
- 6. slice your vegetables. (I sometimes purchase my lettuce already shredded if I don't feel like doing it myself)and put them on serving plates.
- 7. Add peanut oil to a large frying pan. Enough so that about a quarter of the bottom of the pan is covered.
- 8. Fry chicken breast over medium heat about 2-4 minutes per side. (until lightly browned) then set aside on a plate with paper towel to drain.
- 9. When all the chicken is fried, add monterey jack slices to both sides of bulkie roll on a cookie sheet and broil just long enough for the cheese to melt and become bubbly.
- 10. When the bulkie rolls are ready, place ranch dressing, chicken, tomatoe, lettuce, and onion on top of bulkie roll and enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken breasts, buttermilk, and herbs will give your sandwiches the best flavor.
- Buttermilk is the key: Buttermilk helps to tenderize the chicken and gives it a slightly tangy flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Season the chicken well: Use a generous amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to season the chicken. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat helps to prevent it from drying out. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.
- Use a good quality ranch dressing: The ranch dressing is one of the most important components of these sandwiches, so be sure to use a good quality dressing. You can make your own ranch dressing or use a store-bought dressing.
- Toast the buns: Toasting the buns gives them a nice crispy texture and helps to hold the sandwiches together.
- Add your favorite toppings: Once you've assembled the sandwiches, you can add your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, or bacon.
