Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    While the chicken is grilling, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Slice the tomato. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing it. On the bottom half of each sandwich bun, spread a generous amount of pimento cheese, add the grilled chicken, bacon, lettuce, and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches warm with your choice of side.
