Chicken Preparation

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Assembling the Chicken Dickens

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess grease.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the bacon is cooking, slice the hamburger buns in half and toast lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf. Place the cooked chicken breast on top, followed by the bacon strips. Add a layer of sliced tomato, and then top with equal amounts of cheddar and Swiss cheese. Cover with the top half of the bun.
