How to make it
1
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
• Cut sweet potatoes into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges.
2
• Toss sweet potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, 1 tsp Southwest Spice Blend (2 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (You’ll use more Southwest Spice Blend in the next step.) Roast on top rack until lightly browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.
3
• Meanwhile, add bacon to a large dry, preferably nonstick, pan in a single layer. Cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-8 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve bacon fat in pan.
• While bacon cooks, pat chicken dry with paper towels; place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until chicken is about 1⁄3 inch thick. Season all over with 1 tsp Southwest Spice Blend (2 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (Save remaining Southwest Spice Blend for another use.)
4
• Heat pan with bacon fat over medium heat (add a drizzle of oil if pan seems dry). Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. TIP: Lower heat if chicken begins to brown too quickly.
• Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a plate. Wash out pan.
• While chicken cooks, in a small bowl, combine dressing and half the hot sauce (add more if you prefer more heat!).
5
• On a clean work surface, evenly layer half the sourdough slices with chicken and bacon. Top with Buffalo ranch and cheddar. Top with remaining sourdough slices to form sandwiches.
6
• Heat 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) and a small drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium heat.
• Carefully add sandwiches and cook, gently pressing down with a spatula, until bread is golden and cheese melts, 2-4 minutes per side; add another 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) when flipping. TIP: Work in batches if necessary, adding more butter if needed; lower heat if browning too quickly.
• Halve sandwiches on a diagonal. Divide sandwiches and sweet potato wedges between plates. Serve with any remaining hot sauce on the side.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
