Ingredients
Gather Ingredients from the list below

Grilled Chicken, Avocado & Bacon Sandwich

8 slices Applewood Bacon, Thick Cut Stackpack
 
4 Ciabatta bread
 
4 Small chicken breasts
 
1 Lemon, zested and juiced
 
1 tbsp. olive oil
 
1 tsp. Ground coriander
 
1 tsp. Coarse sea salt
 
1 Avocado, sliced
 
1 Tomato, sliced
 
Lettuce of choice

Mustard Mayonnaise

 
4 tbsps. Mayonnaise
 
1 tbsp. Whole grain mustard
Directions
1.
In a medium bowl, combine the zest and juice of one lemon with olive oil, coriander, salt, and pepper; stir to mix well.
2.
Add the chicken to the bowl, toss to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate to marinate for at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour.
3.
While the chicken marinates, mix the mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl until fully combined, then set aside.
4.
Prepare the grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat.
5.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any excess liquid, and place it on the hot grill rack. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is no longer pink inside and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
6.
After turning the chicken, place the sandwich rolls—sliced in half horizontally—on the grill and toast until golden brown.
7.
Remove the chicken and rolls from the grill. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls.
8.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering lettuce leaves, grilled chicken, two slices of bacon, avocado, and tomato on each bottom half.
9.
Top with the remaining roll halves and serve warm.
