Ingredients

For the Sandwich

6 slices thick-cut Bacon Crisp cooked bacon adds flavor.
4 oz cooked Chicken breast Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
1 ripe Avocado Choose one that gives slightly to pressure.
4 leaves Romaine lettuce Should be fresh and crisp.
2 medium Tomatoes Choose firm, bright-red tomatoes.
2 tbsp Bbq sauce Adds tang and flavor.
2 tbsp Mayonnaise Spread thinly to avoid sogginess.
to taste Salt and pepper
4 slices Hearty sourdough bread Provides structure and flavor.
1 tbsp Butter For toasting bread.
4 slices Cheddar cheese Melt well and add sharp flavor.

Method

Cooking the Bacon

Cook the bacon until crispy and set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and lay bacon strips flat, cooking for 6–10 minutes until evenly browned.

Toasting the Bread

Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
In a clean pan over medium heat, place slices butter-side down and toast until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.

Assembling the Sandwich

Spread mayonnaise on one slice of bread and layer lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, chicken, bacon, and cheddar cheese.
Add another slice of bread and repeat the layering process if making a double-decker sandwich.
Cut the sandwich in half and secure with toothpicks if desired.

Serving

Serve warm with your choice of side, allowing the cheese to set slightly before cutting.

Notes

For best texture, assemble just before serving. Use room temperature chicken for easier melting of cheese. Variations include making it spicy or vegetarian.
