How to Make Funky Chicken Sandwich

  1. Cook bacon: Fry 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  2. Prepare chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. Cook chicken to your liking. (Pan-frying, grilling on a George Foreman grill, or baking are all great options).
  3. Butter bread: While chicken is cooking, spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter on one side of each bread slice.
  4. Assemble and grill cheese: Layer sliced tomatoes and Swiss cheese on two of the buttered bread slices. Top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Assemble sandwich: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Add cooked chicken, crispy bacon, and (optionally) Parmesan peppercorn dressing. Top with the grilled cheese assembly.
  6. Enjoy! Serve immediately and savor the deliciousness of your homemade Funky Chicken Sandwich.
