Pep up a chicken breast with lemon pepper, lemon juice, grilled cheese and turn into a club sandwich topped with lettuce, tomato, bacon and onion.
This recipe was created and tweaked from a chicken sandwich I had been served for lunch at a local pub.
Even though this recipe is focused on using one chicken breast, because I was able to make two sandwiches with just one breast, feel free to adjust this recipe as needed. And if you want chicken to hang over your bun like a huge tenderloin sandwich then use one breast per person.
