- Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until golden, 4 to 6 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
- Top each of 4 toasts with a chicken breast, 2 ham slices, 1 cheese slice (for melted cheese, broil the sammies for 1 minute), 2 tomato slices, salt, pepper and 2 bacon strips.
- Spread the lettuce puree on the remaining toasts and set on top.
