Can you cook raw chicken and raw bacon together?

Cooking raw chicken and raw bacon together is generally not recommended in the same pan or pot due to different cooking times and safety concerns. Chicken requires thorough cooking to reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to eliminate harmful bacteria, while bacon is often cooked at a higher temperature for a shorter duration. Combining them in the same pan may result in the chicken not reaching a safe temperature by the time the bacon is done. 

To ensure food safety, it’s advisable to cook chicken and bacon separately or consider partially pre-cooking the bacon before adding it to a dish with raw chicken, ensuring both meats reach their respective safe temperatures without compromising flavor or texture.

Is ranch a mayonnaise?

Ranch dressing is not purely mayonnaise, but it often contains mayonnaise as one of its key ingredients. Traditional ranch dressing typically includes a combination of buttermilk, mayonnaise, garlic, onion, herbs (such as dill, parsley, and chives), and various seasonings. 

The mayonnaise contributes to the creamy texture of ranch dressing, but it is just one component of the overall mixture. Ranch dressing variations may exist, with some recipes using sour cream or yogurt in place of or in addition to mayonnaise, offering different flavor profiles and textures.

How do you reheat chicken bacon ranch sandwich?

To reheat a chicken bacon ranch sandwich, you can use an oven, toaster oven, microwave, or stovetop. The method you choose depends on your preference and the equipment available:

Oven or Toaster Oven

1. Preheat the oven or toaster oven to around 350°F (175°C).
2. Wrap the sandwich in aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out.
3. Place the wrapped sandwich in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through.

Microwave

1. Place the sandwich on a microwave-safe plate.
2. Microwave on medium power for short intervals (about 30 seconds to 1 minute), checking after each interval until it reaches the desired temperature.

Stovetop

1. For a grilled or panini-style sandwich, reheat it on a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Use a panini press if available.
2. Cook on each side until the sandwich is heated through and the bread is crispy.

Ensure that the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) during reheating. Keep in mind that the method you choose may affect the texture of the sandwich, with the oven or stovetop methods often providing a crispier result compared to the microwave.

How to make Instant Pot® Chicken Bacon Ranch Wraps?

It’s time to put this recipe together now that you’ve gathered all of your ingredients.

1. Start by pouring the water into the Instant Pot® container and place the metal trivet that comes with the unit inside. 
2. Next, generously season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Then place the chicken breasts on top of the trivet and lock the lid into place. Set the pressure valve to “Sealing” and select the “Manual” button on the highest setting. Adjust the cook time to 9 minutes. 
3. While the Instant Pot® comes to pressure, add the bacon to a large skillet set over medium heat. Fry the bacon while turning occasionally, until it’s cooked through, but not overly crispy, for approximately 7 to 8 minutes. After that, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and blot off the excess grease and set it aside.
4. When the cooking time on the Instant Pot® is finished, allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, and then do a quick release for any remaining pressure. Turn the unit off and remove the lid. Then transfer the chicken to a non-permeable cutting board and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
5. Place the tortilla wraps on a clean work surface and divide the spinach, chicken, and bacon between them. Top each tortilla with the shredded Mozzarella cheese and chopped tomatoes. Lightly season with salt and black pepper based on your desire. 
6. Lastly, drizzle some of the ranch dressing on top and carefully wrap the tortillas around the assembled ingredients. Cut each tortilla in half and secure each section with a toothpick before serving with potato chips and/or your choice of sides. Enjoy!
