Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Grill or pan-fry the chicken over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken and bacon are cooking, chop the romaine lettuce, slice the tomato, and peel and slice the avocado.

  4. 4

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On a slice of bread, spread a layer of the mayonnaise dressing. Add a piece of grilled chicken, followed by crispy bacon, romaine lettuce, tomato slices, and avocado. Top with another slice of bread. Repeat for the remaining sandwiches.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
