Preparation of Chicken

Marinate Chicken
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture onto the chicken breasts thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Grill Chicken
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Cooking Bacon

Cook Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.

Prepare Avocado and Tomato
While the chicken and bacon are cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it thinly. Also, slice the tomato into medium-sized rounds.

Assemble Sandwich
Toast the bread slices if desired. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each slice of bread. On the bottom slice, layer the lettuce leaves, followed by the grilled chicken, bacon strips, avocado slices, and tomato slices. Top with the other slice of bread.
