Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 4 slices bacon
- 8 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Pound them to an even thickness, around 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Use this mixture to coat the chicken breasts evenly.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
While the chicken cooks, fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.
Slice the tomato and avocado into thin slices.
In a small bowl, toss avocado slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
To assemble the sandwiches, use two lettuce leaves as a base, layer on slices of chicken breast, bacon, tomato, and avocado.
Top with another two lettuce leaves to complete the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious Paleo-friendly meal.
