  • 2 slices Swiss cheese

  • 4 slices tomato, or to taste

Prepare the bacon by cooking it in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches an even golden brown color, taking around 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and place it on paper towels to drain excess moisture

Next, prepare the sandwiches by spreading a layer of mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice. Then, create a layered assembly by dividing and arranging the chicken, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and cooked bacon in that order on 2 bread slices, with the mayonnaise side facing downwards. Place the remaining 2 bread slices on top of the sandwich, with their mayonnaise sides facing downwards as well
