Method

  1. Wash and dry the lettuce, then slice the tomato4 into 1 cm rounds. Butterfly the chicken2 breast lengthwise into two thin cutlets, pound to 1 cm thickness, season with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, then sear the chicken2 for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown with no pink juices. Transfer to a plate.

  3. In the same skillet, fry the bacon3 for 3–4 minutes until crisp, flipping occasionally. Drain on paper towels.

  4. Fry the egg over moderate heat for 3–4 minutes until the whites1 are fully set.

  5. Toast the bread in a toaster or on a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden.

  6. Spread one slice with mayonnaise, then layer lettuce, chicken2, and tomato4. Top with the second slice, then add bacon3 and the egg, covering with the third slice.

  7. Cut diagonally in half and serve immediately.

Tips

Why it works
Flatten the chicken to 1 cm so it cooks evenly and stays juicy without drying out. Thicker pieces burn outside before reaching 74 °C inside.
Substitutions
Use turkey bacon for less fat, or swap mayo for Greek yogurt mixed with lemon juice for tang. Skip tomatoes if too soft; use cucumber slices instead.
Common mistakes
Overcooked egg turns rubbery. Stop frying when whites are set but yolk is still wobbly. Check by gently shaking the pan; liquid should move.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or within 1 day. Reheat bacon and chicken separately in a pan for 2 minutes; reassemble with warm bread.
Serve with
Pair with a side of crispy fries or sweet potato wedges for a balanced dinner. Serve with lemon wedges to cut through richness.
