Preparation

Step 1

For the Garlic-Basil Mayo:
Mix ingredients together and set aside until ready to use.

For the Sandwiches:
Season chicken with spices of choice (I just dashed on a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder). Grill over medium heat until cooked through and the juices run clear (6-9 minutes per side, may vary depending on size of chicken breasts). Remove from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

While chicken is resting, preheat the broiler in your oven. Also, toast all 8 slices of bread and spread about 1 tablespoons of garlic basil mayo on 4 of the slices of bread. Place them (mayo side up) on a baking sheet.

Slice the chicken breasts and layer evenly amongst the 4 prepared slices of bread. Top each one with a slice of swiss cheese and place under the broiler just long enogh to melt the cheese (should only take about a minute).

Remove from oven and top each with one with 2 slices of bacon, and a few slices of avocado. On the other 4 slices of toasted bread: add additional garlic herb mayo, lettuce, tomato, and red onion and then place the 2 halves together. Slice on a diagonal (you can place a toothpick in each half to hold them together) and serve hot!
