Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    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.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the applewood bacon over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Roasted Garlic Dijon Mayonnaise

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, roasted garlic, and Dijon mustard until well combined.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread the roasted garlic Dijon mayonnaise on the toasted rolls. Layer with grilled chicken, bacon, crisp romaine, and sliced tomato. Top with the other half of the roll.
