Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 whole Bagels
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. Season both pieces of chicken breast with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.

Step 3

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the bagel toppings. Slice the tomato into thin rounds and slice the red onion thinly. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard to make the sandwich sauce.

Step 5

Cut the bagels in half and lightly butter the cut sides with 2 tablespoons of butter. Toast the bagels in a toaster or on a pan until golden brown.

Step 6

To assemble, spread a generous amount of the mayonnaise-mustard sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bagel.

Step 7

Slice each chicken breast diagonally into thin strips. Place chicken slices on top of the sauce.

Step 8

Add slices of cheddar cheese on top of the chicken, allowing the warm chicken to melt the cheese slightly.

Step 9

Layer on two lettuce leaves, followed by slices of tomato, and some red onion rings for each sandwich.

Step 10

Finish by placing the top half of the toasted bagel over the fillings. Press gently to hold all ingredients in place.

Step 11

Serve the chicken bagels immediately for the best flavor and texture.
