4. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bun bottoms.

Variations & Tips
For a zesty twist, add a spoonful of diced jalapeños to the chicken mixture, or swap the ranch dressing for a barbecue sauce if you fancy a smokier flavor. For those who enjoy a bit of extra crunch, adding a layer of crispy fried onions under the cheese before baking is just delightful. And of course, for my vegetarian friends, replacing chicken with a seasoned mixture of mashed chickpeas can make a delightful alternative.
