Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the lettuce leaf and slice the tomato into thin rounds.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise and mustard on one side of each slice of bread. On the bottom slice, layer the grilled chicken, followed by the cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, lettuce, and tomato slices. Top with the other slice of bread.

  2. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Optional: Place the assembled sandwich back on the grill or in a pan over medium heat, pressing down lightly with a spatula, for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
