Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices bacon
- 4 sandwich buns
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 slices cheddar or Swiss cheese (optional)
- Lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or your preferred sauce)
Instructions:
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- Season and Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill or cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If using cheese, place a slice on each chicken breast during the last minute of cooking to melt.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Toast the sandwich buns if desired. Spread a layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a grilled chicken breast on top, followed by two slices of bacon, lettuce, and tomato slices.
- Serve: Top with the remaining half of the bun and serve your Bacon-Chicken Sandwiches with chips, fries, or a salad.
Enjoy this hearty and flavorful sandwich for an easy, crowd-pleasing meal!
