Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 6 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 8 leaves romaine lettuce
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and fry the bacon slices until crispy. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
While the chicken is resting and the bacon is cooking, wash and prep the lettuce leaves, and slice the tomato into thin rounds.
To assemble the sandwich, take two lettuce leaves and place them on a plate as the base.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise over the base lettuce leaves.
Layer with sliced chicken, two bacon slices, and a couple of tomato slices.
Top with another tablespoon of mayonnaise and cover with an additional lettuce leaf as the top bun.
Repeat the assembly process for the other sandwiches.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Chicken and Bacon Sandwich while still warm.
