Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add olive oil.
Add the vegetarian chicken strips to the pan. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and heated through.
In a separate pan, cook the vegan bacon strips over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until crispy.
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.
Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of vegan mayonnaise on the bottom half of each ciabatta roll.
Place 2 lettuce leaves on the mayonnaise-spread half of each roll.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and layer them over the lettuce.
Divide the cooked vegetarian chicken strips evenly between the two sandwiches, placing them on top of the tomatoes.
Add two strips of crispy vegan bacon to each sandwich.
Top each sandwich with the remaining half of the ciabatta roll, press gently to secure, and serve immediately.
