Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 boneless (skinless chicken breast halves (about 1-1/4 lb))
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne (optional)
  • 8 strips bacon
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 sandwich rolls (sliced)
  • 1 large tomato (sliced)
  • Lettuce
  • 2 medium Hass avocados (mashed)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 small clove garlic (very finely chopped)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Combine the avocados, lemon juice, mayonnaise, and garlic in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • If your chicken breasts have tenderloins attached, remove them and reserve for another use.
  • Place the breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to a uniform thickness of 1/2-inch.
  • Season with salt, pepper and a sprinkling of cayenne if desired.
  • Fry the bacon until crisp, drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat.
  • Add the oil to the bacon fat and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden on the outside and no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Build the sandwich by adding a layer of lettuce and tomato to each roll. Top with a piece of chicken, 2 slices of bacon and a generous dollop of avocado mayo. Serve immediately.
