Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 thinly sliced chicken breasts
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika
  • 9 slices of sturdy bread (white, whole wheat, sourdough, or brioche)
  • Thin-cut beef bacon
  • Fresh romaine or iceberg lettuce
  • Ripe tomatoes
  • Mayonnaise
  • Swiss cheese or mild cheddar
  • Ripe avocado
  • Thinly sliced red onions (optional)
  • Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Pickles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your chicken: Pat chicken breasts dry and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-6 minutes per side until browned. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
  2. Cook the beef bacon: Place beef bacon in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat until crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Toast the bread: Toast 9 slices of bread until golden brown and crisp.
  4. Prep your veggies and avocado: Wash and dry lettuce leaves, slice tomatoes, and prepare avocado by slicing it thinly.
  5. Assemble the first layer: Lay out three slices of toasted bread. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice. On the first slice, layer lettuce, tomato slices, and half of the sliced chicken.
  6. Add the middle bread slice: Place a second slice of mayo-slathered toast on top of the chicken layer and spread more mayonnaise on the top side.
  7. Assemble the second layer: On top of the middle slice, layer more lettuce, crispy beef bacon, cheese slice, and sliced avocado.
  8. Top it off: Place the third mayo-slathered slice of toast on top of the avocado layer, pressing down gently.
  9. Secure and cut: Insert skewers or toothpicks through the sandwich for stability. Slice the sandwich diagonally into four triangular pieces.
  10. Serve immediately: Arrange sandwich halves on plates, often with a side of pickles, chips, or fries.

Keywords: For juicier chicken, let it rest after cooking. Use skewers before cutting for a neater presentation. Feel free to experiment with different types of mayonnaise and cheese.
