Ingredients
- Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- Olive Oil
- Garlic Powder
- Smoked Paprika
- Salt
- Pepper
- Turkey Bacon
- Jalapeño Peppers
- Pepper Jack Cheese
- Sourdough or Texas Toast
- Butter
Instructions
1. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring even coverage.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until it’s fully cooked through.
3. Place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each piece of bread, followed by the cooked chicken, crispy bacon, and sliced jalapeños. Top with another slice of cheese and the second piece of bread.
4. Butter the outside of each sandwich. Grill the sandwiches on a skillet over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Slice the Spicy Bacon Jalapeño Chicken Melt in half and serve immediately, while the cheese is still hot and gooey.
Notes
To make the Spicy Bacon Jalapeño Chicken Melt a healthier option, you can consider using leaner cuts of chicken, low-fat cheese, and whole-grain bread. Additionally, pairing the sandwich with a fresh salad or a side of roasted vegetables can help balance the overall nutritional profile.
