  • Using the same skillet you cooked the bacon in and using the rendered bacon fat, cook the chicken breasts until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), cooking for about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and pat dry with paper towels.

  • To assemble a sandwich, spread ¼ of the flavored mayonnaise mixture on one chicken breast half. Top with 1 lettuce leaf, 2 pieces of bacon, and sliced tomato. Add more salt and pepper to taste as desired. Top with the remaining chicken breast halves to create 2 sandwiches

Notes

  • You can also make this using ground chicken seasoned, formed, and fried into patties instead of whole chicken breasts. 
  • If you don't like making your own mayonnaise, you can look for Primal Kitchen mayonnaise or sauces to use instead.
