A sandwich that feels like a mini celebration with layers of crispy beef bacon, juicy grilled chicken, melty cheese, and an avocado ranch spread.

Ingredients

Scale

6 slices high-quality bread (sourdough or brioche)
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6–8 oz each, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness)
8 slices thick-cut beef bacon
2 large ripe tomatoes (thinly sliced)
1 small red onion (very thinly sliced, optional)
4 large leaves crisp lettuce (Romaine or butter)
4 slices cheese (Swiss, sharp cheddar, provolone, or Monterey Jack)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
1 ripe medium avocado (peeled, pitted, and roughly chopped)
1/2 cup good quality mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh chives (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon fresh dill (finely chopped, optional)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped)
1 clove garlic (minced or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard or 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Add mayonnaise and sour cream or Greek yogurt. Stir in chives, dill, and parsley, and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Pound chicken breasts to even thickness, season with salt and pepper, and cook in olive oil 4-6 minutes per side until golden brown. Let rest before slicing.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake beef bacon for 15-20 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Wash and prepare lettuce and tomatoes. Assemble sandwiches by toasting bread, spreading avocado ranch, and layering chicken, bacon, and cheese.
Secure with toothpicks, slice, and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, let the chicken rest before slicing and avoid overcrowding the bacon while baking.
