Note

For a vegetarian variation, substitute the chicken and bacon with sliced avocado, hummus, or grilled portobello mushrooms.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The bread may soften due to moisture from the tomatoes and dressing.

Use day-old bread for better toast texture and to prevent sogginess from the dressing.

Ensure the roast chicken is cooled slightly before assembling to prevent the cheese from melting too prematurely if using warm bread.
