Carl’s Keto Spicy Asiago Ranch Chicken Club Sandwich
This fast food favorite used to be a staple of my diet before I got diabetes and went keto. The flavors are intense, and from time to time I really miss it. I recreated it in the best way I knew how, and the results were outstanding. Now you can make this at home just like I do. It takes a while to make all the components, but you can make them ahead of time and put them together quickly.
For the roll I opted for oopsie bread because it's soft and delicious. I made the bacon in the oven, and cooked the chicken breasts with the sous vide method using the Anova Precision Cooker. You can cook your chicken however you like, but if you want the chicken to melt in your mouth, sous vide is the way to go.
The star of the dish is the crispy Asiago that lends its sharp flavor as well as the much needed crunch missing from the chicken.

Instructions
- Slice chicken breast halves lengthwise in half so that you are left with four thinner breast pieces. Season with salt and pepper, place in vacuum-sealed bag with a bit of olive oil, and cook sous vide at 146F for a minimum of 2 hours.
- Combine cayenne pepper and Asiago cheese. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a cast iron pan over medium-low heat. When it comes up to temperature, sprinkle Asiago cheese in the pan.
- Cook for 5 minutes or until brown on bottom. Flip, and cook another 3 minutes. Move to a cooling rack.
- When everything is done cooking, it's time to make the sandwich. Put a tablespoon of ranch dressing on the bottom roll.
- Add a piece of the Asiago cracker.
- Place a piece of chicken on top of that.
- And another Asiago cracker...
- Followed by 3 strips of bacon.
- Add iceberg lettuce.
- Add a tomato slice.
- Finally, add the top roll with another tablespoon (or more) of ranch.
- Dig in!
Recipe Notes
You can use our Oopsie Bread recipe, or your own. It's up to you. I cook my bacon in the oven on a cookie sheet at 290F for 20 minutes or until crispy. You can get an Anova Precision Cooker here.
