Turkey bacon or crispy smoked tempeh strips work well for a lighter or vegetarian alternative.
Wrap sandwiches tightly in the fridge and consume within 24 hours. Avoid freezing to keep texture fresh.
Ensure chicken is not overcooked and spread enough avocado ranch for moistness. Toasting bread also helps keep everything balanced.
