For Grilling

Bread

Method

Dijon Aioli Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Set aside.

Chicken Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper on both sides. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  2. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on each chicken breast to melt.

Bacon Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood smoked bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Cut the sandwich rolls in half. Spread a generous amount of the Dijon aioli on both halves of the rolls. On the bottom half, layer the grilled chicken with melted cheese, crispy bacon, lettuce, and sliced tomato. Top with the other half of the roll.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Slice the sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
