Method
Sandwich
- 1
Prep bread and spread
Slice the roll or bread horizontally. Spread the moreau (or mayonnaise) evenly on both cut sides. Set aside.
- 2
Slice avocado
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh and thinly slice. Lightly season the slices with a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper. Set aside.

Assemble sandwich
On the bottom half of the toasted bread layer shredded iceberg lettuce, two tomato slices, the Swiss cheese slice, grilled chicken breast, bacon strips (lay them so each bite gets bacon), and avocado slices. Top with remaining bread half. If desired, press lightly and cut sandwich in half.
Chicken Marinade / Grilling
- 4
Make marinade
In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.
- 5
Marinate chicken
Pat the chicken breast dry and place in the bowl with the marinade. Rub to coat thoroughly and let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes (or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours).
- 6
Grill or pan-sear chicken
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a light drizzle of oil. Cook the chicken breast about 5–7 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a cutting board and rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

Optional: Melt cheese
If you prefer melted Swiss, place the cheese slice on the chicken in the last 1 minute of cooking and cover briefly to melt.

Cook bacon
If bacon is not already cooked, cook 3 strips in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels.
