History

This recipe was created by me, a professional author and cook, as a way to combine my son's favorite ingredients into one tasty sandwich. It has since become a family favorite and is requested often.

Ingredients

How to prepare

Fry the bacon until it is crisp. Remove it from the pan and place it on a paper towel. Pour out most of the grease, leaving just enough to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.
Slice the chicken breasts thinly to ensure quick cooking. Coat the pieces with lemon pepper to taste. Fry them in the remaining bacon grease until they are browned and no longer pink.
Create small mounds of chicken, enough for each bun. Place bacon on top of each mound and cover it with a slice of cheese. Allow the cheese to melt onto the chicken.
Using a spatula, transfer each mound onto a burger bun.
If desired, add mayo and lettuce. Personally, I believe it doesn't need either, but my husband prefers them.
Enjoy!

Variations

Add avocado slices for a creamy texture.
Use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon for a healthier option.
Swap out the cheddar cheese for Swiss or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.

How did I get this recipe?

I recall the feeling of curiosity that overcame me when I found this recipe for my son's favorite sandwich. It was a crisp autumn day, the leaves were changing colors and the air was filled with the scent of cinnamon and nutmeg. I was going through an old recipe box that had been passed down to me from my own mother, and as I flipped through the yellowed index cards and faded newspaper clippings, I stumbled upon a simple handwritten note that read "My Son's Favorite Sandwich."

I had never heard of this sandwich before, but the ingredients listed were familiar and comforting - creamy peanut butter, sweet strawberry jam, and a hint of honey. I could almost taste the combination of flavors on my tongue as I read through the instructions. It seemed like a straightforward recipe, but there was something about it that intrigued me.

I decided to give it a try one afternoon when my son came home from school. He was a picky eater, always wanting the same old ham and cheese sandwich or plain grilled cheese. I thought maybe this new recipe could entice him to try something different.
