6 slices bacon
3/4 cup chopped green pepper (175 mL)
1 rotisserie chicken, diced
1 tsp crushed garlic (5 mL)
1/2 tsp onion salt (2 mL)
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (2 mL)
1/4 tsp salt (1 mL)
1/4 tsp black pepper (1 mL)
4 slices Gouda
cheese, divided
1 avocado, sliced
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
Small ribbons of lettuce or basil
Balsamic Drizzle:
1 tbsp butter (15 mL)
1 tbsp vinegar (15 mL)
Liquid sweetener to equal 2 tsp sugar (10 mL)
In
large nonstick frying pan, cook bacon over medium high heat until done to your
liking. Set aside and reserve the bacon
fat. Using about 2 tbsp (30 mL) bacon
fat, cook green pepper until softening. Add
a little more bacon fat, if necessary, chicken, garlic, onion salt, Italian
seasoning, salt and black pepper. Stir to
combine and cook over medium heat until hot.
Cut bacon into bits and stir into chicken. Lay 3 slices of Gouda cheese over the chicken to melt. Top with slices of avocado and layer sliced
tomatoes over top of the avocado, placing a small square of cheese on each
tomato slice and a small ribbon of lettuce or basil.
Balsamic Drizzle: In small saucepan, melt butter over medium
heat. Stir in vinegar and liquid
sweetener. Drizzle some over each tomato
and serve.
