Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 6 oz) Chicken breast
- 4 slices Bacon
- 4 slices Bread (thick slices, such as sourdough or brioche)
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 leaves Lettuce
- 1 small (sliced) Tomato
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breast for 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
Step 3
In the same skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 4
Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Step 5
On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread mayonnaise, then layer with lettuce, tomato slices, cooked chicken, bacon, and cheddar cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices (buttered side facing out).
Step 6
Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 7
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let cool slightly, then cut in half and serve warm.
