Ingredients

  • 2 boneless , skinless chicken breasts (approx 6 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 slices thick -cut applewood smoked bacon
  • 1 large ripe Hass avocado
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 4 thick slices sourdough bread
  • 2 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup fresh baby arugula
  • 4 slices heirloom tomato
  • 4 thin rings red onion
  • Salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Coat chicken breasts with olive oil and season thoroughly with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • While chicken is grilling, cook bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice, salt, and pepper until it reaches a chunky-smooth consistency.
  • Lightly toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon of chipotle mayonnaise on the bottom slice of each sandwich.
  • Layer the baby arugula, tomato slices, and red onion rings on top of the mayonnaise.
  • Place the hot grilled chicken breast over the vegetables. Immediately top with a slice of pepper jack cheese to allow it to melt.
  • Add two slices of crispy bacon and a generous portion of the smashed avocado over the cheese.
  • Top with the remaining bread slice, press down gently to secure the layers, and slice diagonally to serve.
