Chicken and Bacon Sandwich

  • 450 grams Chicken Breast
  • 200 grams Bacon
  • 100 grams Onion finely cut in rings
  • 1 Jalapeno chopped finely
  • 8 slices Bread

For the Chimichurri Mayo

  • 40 grams Mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Parsley
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1 tsp Red chilli flakes
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • ½ tbsp Red wine vinegar
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chopped parsley, oregano, red chilli flakes, olive oil, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the chimichurri mayo. Set aside.
  • Place the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet and cook over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, transfer to paper towels to drain and cool. Once cooled, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
  • In the remaining bacon fat, sauté the onion rings until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking over medium heat and flipping halfway, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) — this should take roughly 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl and shred using two forks.
  • Add salt, pepper, the chopped bacon, sautéed onions, jalapenos, and the prepared chimichurri mayo to the shredded chicken. Combine until well mixed.
  • Assemble the sandwich by spreading the chicken mixture on a bread slice. Top with another slice, press gently, cut in half, and serve.
