Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
4 slices mozzarella cheese
1 large ripe avocado, sliced
1 large tomato, sliced
4 slices cooked turkey bacon or chicken bacon
Fresh basil or parsley (optional for garnish)

Instructions

Pat the chicken dry and pound to even thickness if needed.
Mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on both sides of each chicken breast.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Oil the grates if needed.
Grill the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
In the last minute of grilling, add a slice of mozzarella to each chicken breast and let it melt slightly.
Remove the chicken from the grill. Top each breast with tomato slices, avocado, and bacon.
Garnish with chopped basil or parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is perfectly cooked.
Add toppings after grilling to maintain freshness and texture.
Store chicken and toppings separately for best leftovers.
Swap toppings like cheese, bacon, or veggies to customize the dish.
