Start by flattening the chicken breast using a meat mallet to ensure even cooking. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the turkey bacon slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy. Place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat Greek yogurt with Dijon mustard to create a spread.
Toast the whole grain bread slices lightly using a toaster or under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until just golden.
To assemble the sandwich, spread a thin layer of the yogurt-mustard mix on each slice of bread.
Place a lettuce leaf on two of the bread slices, followed by slices of cooked chicken, crispy bacon, tomato, and cucumber.
Top with the remaining bread slices, pressing down gently.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
