    Assemble the Sandwich

    On a plate, layer a piece of grilled chicken thigh, followed by a slice of pepper jack cheese, two slices of crispy bacon, a leaf of green leaf lettuce, and slices of tomato. Drizzle habanero aioli on top.

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as fries or a salad.
