Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Bacon
- 2 pieces Burger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 leaves Lettuce
- 1 small Tomato
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. If they are thick, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is grilling, cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Once the chicken is almost done cooking, place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on top of each chicken breast. Allow the cheese to melt while the chicken finishes cooking.
In the same skillet used for the bacon, spread butter on the inside of the burger buns and toast them, cut-side down, until golden brown.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and prepare the lettuce leaves by washing and patting them dry.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the grilled chicken with melted cheese, and 2 slices of crispy bacon.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your Grilled Cheesy Bacon Chicken Sandwich!
