- Ranch dressing (extra for drizzling)
- 1 lb chicken breasts or tenderloins, diced small
- 4-5 slices crispy bacon, chopped

Instructions:
Preparation:
- Preheat your griddle to medium heat.
- Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season generously with garlic powder, pepper, and ranch seasoning.
- Chop your crispy bacon and green onions; set aside.
Cooking:
- Place bacon strips onto the hot griddle. When the bacon gets crispy, push it aside and leave some grease.
- Add your frozen French fries right into the bacon grease. Season well with ranch seasoning, flipping regularly for about 12-15 minutes until crispy. You can sprinkle on some salt, pepper or a teaspoon onion powder if desired for more flavor!
- When bacon is perfectly crisp, remove it from the griddle and chop into small bits.
- Cook the diced chicken with a little olive oil or butter, about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Once everything is cooked, turn off your griddle heat. Arrange fries into a nice even layer.
- Top fries generously with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, then add crispy bacon and cooked chicken.
- Let everything sit for a couple minutes until cheese melts.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve these loaded fries hot and topped with plenty of ranch dressing. Add more flavor and color with some green onions, tomatoes, or raw finely diced red onion. Chicken Bacon Ranch Fries can be elevated a number of ways!
Recipe Notes:
- If you need this done quickly, leftover or rotisserie chicken works great!
- Spread fries evenly on the griddle so they get nice and crispy.
- Leftovers can be reheated perfectly in your air fryer—just a few minutes at 375°F brings back the crispiness.
- Try sweet potato fries for a tasty variation.
Enjoy your Chicken Bacon Ranch Fries—I promise they'll become your new favorite snack or meal! Best of all, they're easy to whip up right on your Blackstone or any flattop griddle, like the Blaze 40" LTE Pro like I'm using!
