Ingredients:

1/2 cup mayonnaise salad dressing
120g
1 cup bread crumbs
110g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1 tsp ground cumin
2.10g
1 tbsp vinegar
15g
5 strips bacon
60g
1 tsp rosemary
0.70g
3 tbsp olive oil
40g
4 tomatoes
250g
1/2 tsp lemon peel
1g
4 chicken breasts
470g
5 oz kale
140g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rosemary-Lemon Mayonnaise:
- In a small bowl, mix together the 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tsp finely chopped rosemary, 1/2 tsp finely grated lemon peel, and 1 tbsp vinegar. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
2. Cook the Bacon:
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook 5 strips of bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.
3. Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix together the bread crumbs, 1 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp ground cumin in a shallow dish.
- Brush the chicken breasts lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil, then coat each piece thoroughly with the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
4. Assemble the Dish:
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the BLT components. Slice the tomatoes and chop the kale.
- Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
5. Serve:
- On each serving plate, place a generous handful of chopped kale.
- Arrange the tomato slices on top of the kale.
- Top with sliced chicken breasts.
- Drizzle a spoonful of the rosemary-lemon mayonnaise over the chicken.
- Sprinkle with crumbled bacon.
6. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious BLT Chicken with Rosemary-Lemon Mayonnaise!

Tips:

- Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly sliced for uniform cooking and better texture.

- Use fresh rosemary and lemon peel to enhance the flavor of the mayonnaise.
