Combining the rich flavors of crispy bacon, tender chicken, melted cheddar cheese, and a zesty garlic-lemon mayonnaise, this recipe offers a satisfying and hearty meal that is simple and quick to prepare.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix 8 tablespoons of mayonnaise salad dressing with the minced garlic, lemon juice, and finely chopped chives. Stir until well combined. Set it aside for later use.
- Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the bacon strips and cook until they are crispy, turning as needed, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- If starting with raw chicken breasts, cook them first by boiling or poaching until fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Allow the chicken to cool slightly, then shred it using two forks. If using pre-cooked chicken, simply shred it.
- Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface. Spread the garlic mayo evenly on one side of each slice.
- On 4 of the bread slices, place an equal amount of shredded chicken.
- Add 2 strips of bacon on top of the chicken on each sandwich.
- Arrange slices of cheddar cheese over the bacon. The cheese should cover the bacon evenly.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread, garlic mayo side down.
- In the same skillet or a clean one, melt the salted butter over medium heat.
- Place the assembled sandwiches into the skillet. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press gently with a spatula for even browning.
- If your skillet is not large enough to fit all the sandwiches at once, cook them in batches, adding more butter as needed.
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet.
- Cut each sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately while hot and melty.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper before cooking.
- Use a sharp knife to finely chop the garlic and chives for the mayonnaise dressing to blend better.
- For a healthier option, you can use whole wheat bread instead of white bread.
- Ensure the bacon is cooked until crispy to add a nice crunch to the sandwiches.
- You can add some fresh lettuce or tomato slices for additional flavor and texture.
By following these simple steps and tips, you can create delicious chicken and bacon pan-fried sandwiches that are sure to satisfy your taste buds. Perfect for any meal occasion, these sandwiches are not only easy to make but also packed with incredible flavors and textures. Enjoy every bite of this delightful dish!
