Begin by preparing the chicken. Season the chicken breast fillets on both sides with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside to rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the tomatoes by slicing them into medium-thick rounds.
To make the homemade Whole30 mayo, add an egg, lemon juice, mustard powder, and a pinch of salt to a tall container. Insert an immersion blender and start blending while slowly pouring the compliant cooking oil until a thick mayo forms. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips.
To assemble the sandwich, use two large lettuce leaves for each serving as the 'bread'.
Layer one lettuce leaf with mayo, sliced chicken, tomato, avocado slices, and 2 slices of cooked bacon.
Top with another lettuce leaf, add a smear of mayo on the second leaf, and press gently to form the sandwich.
Serve the sandwiches immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Chicken Club delight.
