Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with blackening seasoning.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Leave the bacon fat in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Blacken the Chicken

    In the same skillet, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and blackened. Add the swiss cheese slices on top of the chicken during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is cooking, slice the tomato and red onion. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Toast the Brioche Rolls

    Lightly toast the brioche rolls in the same skillet until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread spicy aioli on the bottom half of each toasted brioche roll. Layer with lettuce, the blackened chicken with melted swiss, crispy bacon, tomato slices, and red onion. Top with the other half of the roll.
