- In the same or another pan, cook turkey bacon over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and break into pieces.
Assembling the Sandwich
- Wash and dry lettuce leaves thoroughly so they stay crisp.
- On a plate, lay one large lettuce leaf flat as the base.
- Layer sliced chicken, crispy turkey bacon, tomato slices, and avocado slices on the leaf.
- Spread mayonnaise over the top layer and season with a little salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Add another lettuce leaf on top to close the sandwich. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best texture, assemble the components separately if storing for later. Keep avocado slices from browning by tossing them in lemon or lime juice before assembly.
