Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. If you are frying, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

    Cook the Chicken

    For grilled chicken, grill the chicken breasts on medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. For fried chicken, cook the seasoned chicken in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a separate pan, cook the apple cider bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the tomato into thick slices and wash the lettuce leaves.

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread dijonnaise on the inside of each potato bun. Layer with lettuce, the cooked chicken breast, crispy bacon, and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
