Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Lemon pepper seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 pieces Brioche sandwich buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 pieces Tomato (sliced)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. If they are particularly thick, use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound them to an even thickness for quick and uniform cooking.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with lemon pepper seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the lemon mayo by mixing the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Butter the inside of each brioche bun and lightly toast them in a clean skillet or toaster oven until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading a generous layer of the lemon mayo on each bun. Add lettuce leaves to the bottom buns, followed by the cooked chicken breasts, crispy bacon, and sliced tomato. Top with the remaining bun halves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Lemon Pepper Bacon Chicken Sandwich while it’s hot and fresh!
