Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove from heat and let them drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Assembly

  1. 4

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking the chicken, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each breast and cover to melt.

  2. 5

    Build the Sandwich

    Once the chicken is cooked and cheese is melted, place the chicken breasts on a plate. Top each with two strips of crispy bacon, a handful of lettuce, and slices of tomato.

  3. 6

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Drizzle spicy BBQ sauce over the top of each assembled chicken sandwich. Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
