Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown.
Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing them diagonally into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the bacon slices and cook until crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
While the chicken and bacon cook, wash and prepare the lettuce leaves, and thinly slice the tomato.
Toast the slices of rustic bread until they are golden and crispy.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread.
Assemble the sandwich by layering lettuce, sliced tomato, cooked chicken strips, and crispy bacon on two of the bread slices.
Top with the remaining slices of toasted bread, mayonnaise side down.
Carefully slice each sandwich in half and serve.
