Sliced pepper jack cheese

# Steps:
01 -
Heat the griddle to medium-high and cook bacon until crispy, leaving the rendered fat on the griddle.
02 -
While bacon cooks, season the thin-sliced chicken with salt and pepper. Cook chicken in bacon fat for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
03 -
Move the cooked chicken to a cooler zone. Sauté bell peppers and onion in the rendered fat for 6-8 minutes until caramelized.
04 -
Combine the chicken with sautéed vegetables, then top with crumbled bacon and cheese. Allow the cheese to melt from the residual griddle heat.

Toast the sub rolls on the cooler section of the griddle. Fill each roll with the chicken mixture and serve with ranch dressing.
# Tips:
01 -
Use griddle zones for maintaining different heat levels and avoid overcrowding the surface area.

Cooking chicken in bacon fat enhances the flavor of both the chicken and vegetables.
