Pan Seared Chicken Sandwich with Avocado Mayo

Creamy avocado mayonnaise and crisp, smoky bacon are an irresistible combination that would taste great on a wide variety of sandwiches, but we think the flavors work especially well with chicken.

To make this tasty sandwich, we pan seared our chicken breasts in a little of the bacon drippings and layered them on rolls with crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, bacon and a generous dollop of the avocado-mayo. The concoction is a little decadent, but so delicious.

Instructions 

• Combine the avocados, lemon juice, mayonnaise, and garlic in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
• If your chicken breasts have tenderloins attached, remove them and reserve for another use.
• Place the breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to a uniform thickness of 1/2-inch.
• Season with salt, pepper and a sprinkling of cayenne if desired.
• Fry the bacon until crisp, drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat.
• Add the oil to the bacon fat and heat over medium-high heat.
• Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden on the outside and no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Build the sandwich by adding a layer of lettuce and tomato to each roll. Top with a piece of chicken, 2 slices of bacon and a generous dollop of avocado mayo. Serve immediately.
