2. Blend mayo, sour cream, dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, white pepper, and sugar until creamy.

4. Prepare bacon so that is crispy, but not charred. Drain well.
5. Toast bread lightly, preferably on a griddle with a small bit of butter.
6. Place a small bed of lettuce on one half of sandwich and heap chicken salad on top.
7. Lightly press the heap to slightly flatten and lay 2 or 3 strips of bacon on top. Serve open-faced.
