Directions

1. To make Chicken Paillard: Preheat a skillet over medium high heat. Arrange the chicken in a bowl and drizzle meat with extra-virgin olive oil to just coat the chicken. Add chopped herbs and lemon zest. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Using your hands, rub the chicken and coat evenly with the herbs and seasonings. Transfer chicken in a single layer to hot skillet and cook chicken cutlets 3 or 4 minutes on each side. If necessary, place cooked chicken on warm plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm and repeat with remaining cutlets.
2. Fry an egg sunny side up and seasoned with salt and pepper.
3. Sandwich Creation: Toast bread. Spread mayo lightly and evenly over one side of each piece of toast, then layer on top first slice of bread chicken, bacon and avocado.
4. Top with the second slice of bread, then layer on top of that piece lettuce, tomato & egg.
5. Top with final piece of bread.
