    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and grill or cook in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest.

    Cook the Bacon

    In a separate skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

    Prepare the Bread

    Toast the whole wheat bread slices until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread. On two slices, layer lettuce, sliced tomato, cooked chicken, crispy bacon, and avocado slices. Top with the other two slices of bread, mayonnaise side down.
