So I've been making this spin on chicken salad pretty frequently at the request of my family.
First off I fry up some bacon, the amount is variable, whatever you think is judicious. More is better. Anyway, after you've fried the bacon and it's draining, fry some boneless skinless chicken breasts in the bacon fat (waste not want not, y'alls). When they're cool dice up the bacon and cube the chicken.
Next toss the chicken and bacon with 2 bunches of chopped green onions, 2 diced bell peppers, a bag of ready to go matchstick carrots, and about a cup of shredded sharp cheddar (about half as much cheese as there is carrots, or more if no one is watching).
Combine as much low-fat (or all of the way fat, whatever you've got on hand) sour cream as you think you'll need to bind the salad with as much ranch powder as you think is delicious. Stir the dressing into the salad mixture and let it chill for awhile, then enjoy on sandwich rolls with leaf lettuce and tomato slices.
