Main Ingredients

Piquillo Aioli

Method

Preparing the Piquillo Aioli

  1. 1

    Make the Aioli

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until smooth and uniform.

  2. 2

    Add Piquillo Peppers

    Finely chop the piquillo peppers and fold them into the aioli mixture. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Cooking the Chicken and Bacon

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest.

  2. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Nueske bacon until crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Slice the Chicken and Avocado

    Once the grilled chicken has rested, slice it into strips. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin pieces.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Sandwich

    On the sandwich roll, spread a generous layer of the piquillo aioli. Layer on spring mix, grilled chicken, sliced avocado, sliced tomato, crispy bacon, shaved red onion, and provolone cheese.

  3. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Top with the other half of the sandwich roll. Secure with a toothpick if needed, and serve immediately with a side of your choice.
