Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Yields: 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 8 slices bacon
  • ripe avocados
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Kosher salt
  • Fresh Ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • 2/3 cup barbecue sauce of your choice
  • 4 slices Provolone Sargento Slices sliced in half
  • 4 slices of your favorite crusty bread I used a crusty country boule, but sourdough or multigrain would also be amazing.
  • 2 cups chopped Romaine hearts
  • 2 to matoes sliced into thick rounds

Instructions

  • Let’s start with the bacon. Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray a wire rack with cooking spray and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the bacon on the rack, making sure to leave a little bit of space between each piece. Bake for 25-30 minutes until browned and crispy. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Meanwhile, whip up your guac. Scoop the avocado from their skin and place it in a bowl. Add the lime juice and a good pinch of salt and pepper and mash with a form until relatively smooth. Stir in the red onion and cilantro. Taste and season with a little extra salt and pepper if necessary. Cover that deliciousness tightly with plastic and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Moving on to the chicken! Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy skillet, pound the chicken to roughly ½-inch thickness.
  • -Pre-heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the pounded chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 minutes on each side, them move the chicken to a cooler part of the grill (or turn the heat on your grill pan down to medium-low). Brush the chicken with barbecue sauce and cook for 4 more minutes, turning the breasts every minute or so and brushing them with more barbecue sauce, until cooked through.
  • Top each breast with 2 provolone halves and cook for 1 more minute until melted. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Place your bread on the grill for a minute or so on each side to get it nice and toasty.
  • Now it’s time to assemble these bad boys! Spread one side of each piece of bread with a thick layer of guacamole. Top each with a quarter of the romaine, a cheesy BBQ chicken breast, 2 slices of tomato and 2 slices of bacon. Serve immediately.
