Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon
- 8 slices wheat or white sandwich bread
- EVOO
- Two 8 oz. pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breast cut lengthwise
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp hot pepper sauce
- 1 small avocado
- 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped with a little salt
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/3 c blue cheese crumbles

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the bacon on a broiler pan until crisp, about 15 mins.
While bacon is working, arrange the bread on a baking sheet and lightly toast in the oven, about 5 mins.
In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of EVOO over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until golden, 4-6 mins. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the butter and hot sauce.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with garlic and lemon juice. Season with salt. In another small bowl, mash the blue cheese and creme fraiche. Spread the avocado mash on 4 toasts and top each with a lettuce leaf, a chicken breast half, 2 tomato slices, an onion slice and 2 crisscrossed bacon strips. Spread the blue cheese dressing on the remaining toasts and set on top. Slice the sammies into 4 triangles each.
