Crispy garlic naan filled with ranch chicken, cheddar, and bacon, grilled to golden perfection.

# Ingredient List:

→ Chicken Filling

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 3 tablespoons ranch dressing
03 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

07 - 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, ranch dressing, garlic powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, and bacon bits. Mix until all ingredients are well coated and evenly distributed.
02 - Lay out the naan breads. On one half of each naan, evenly spread the chicken mixture. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
03 - Fold each naan over to create a half-moon shape, pressing gently to seal the edges.
04 - Brush the outside of each stuffed naan with softened butter using a pastry brush.
05 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook each stuffed naan 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
06 - Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
