Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with jerk marinade, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Prepare the Bread

    While the chicken is grilling, brush the sourdough bread slices with olive oil and grill them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of grilled sourdough, layer lettuce, sliced tomato, grilled chicken, avocado (sliced), bacon, and munster cheese. Top with another slice of grilled sourdough.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately while warm.
