Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Season each piece with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing each piece into thin strips.
In another skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until they are crispy. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat.
While the bacon is cooking, wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves, and slice the tomato into thin rounds.
Toast the bread slices until golden brown on both sides. You can use a toaster or a skillet with a small amount of butter on medium heat to achieve a crispy texture.
Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice.
To assemble the sandwich, start by laying a piece of lettuce on four of the bread slices (mayonnaise side up). Layer several slices of cooked chicken on top of the lettuce.
Add two slices of bacon over the chicken, then place two to three rounds of tomato on top.
Cover each sandwich with another slice of bread, mayonnaise side down.
Lightly press the sandwich together and cut diagonally to form two triangles. Secure each half with a toothpick if desired, and serve immediately.
