Instructions

Prepare the chicken

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook the chicken

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Pro tip: Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).

Add buffalo sauce

Reduce heat to low and add buffalo sauce to the chicken. Stir well to coat evenly.

Pro tip: For extra heat, add more hot sauce to taste.

Prepare the bacon

Cook bacon in a separate pan over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Pro tip: Use thick-cut bacon for added texture.

Assemble the sandwich

Butter one side of each bread slice. Place chicken, bacon, and cheese on the unbuttered side of half the slices.

Pro tip: Layer cheese between chicken and bacon to help it melt.

Toast the sandwiches

Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.

Pro tip: Press sandwiches lightly with a spatula for even toasting.
