Marinating Chicken
In a bowl, mix olive oil, herbs, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.

Grilling Chicken
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from the grill.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Melt
On a slice of sprout bread, spread pesto aioli. Layer with arugula, grilled chicken, bacon, and havarti cheese. Spread sweet chili jam on another slice of bread and top the sandwich.

Toasting the Melt
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Toast the sandwich on both sides until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes per side.
