Chicken

Bacon

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before chopping into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 3

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mash the avocado until smooth but still slightly chunky.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    In a large bowl or plate, combine the chopped grilled chicken and crumbled bacon. Top with shredded Swiss cheese and finally add the smashed avocado on top. Serve immediately.
