Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

    In the same pan, add spinach and sauté until wilted. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut a pocket in each chicken breast. Fill with cooked bacon, sautéed spinach, and goat cheese. Season the outside with salt and pepper.

    Bake the Chicken

    Place the stuffed chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

    Make Garlic Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and minced garlic.

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the ciabatta buns in half. Spread garlic mayo on both sides. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by the baked chicken, sliced tomato, and the top half of the bun.
