Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to cook the bacon.
Place the bacon slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until crispy. Remove and set aside to drain on paper towels.
While the bacon is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it thinly.
Meanwhile, toast the gluten-free bread slices until golden brown in a toaster or on a pan.
Slice the tomato into thin, even rounds and peel and slice the avocado.
Lay out three slices of toasted bread. Spread a generous tablespoon of mayonnaise on each slice.
On the first slice of bread, layer with lettuce, sliced chicken, and tomato slices.
Place the second slice of bread on top, spread mayonnaise, and layer with bacon slices and avocado.
Top with the third piece of bread, mayonnaise side down, pressing gently to form the sandwich.
Repeat steps 8-11 to assemble the second sandwich.
Secure the sandwiches with toothpicks if needed, and slice diagonally before serving.
