Instructions

Make the garlic aioli: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined, then cover and set aside.
Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Rub the chicken breasts with avocado oil and season on both sides with the spice mixture.
Grill the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the hot grill. Grill for 4-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and allow it to rest.
Prepare the Brioche Buns: While the chicken rests, slice the brioche buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill.
Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun and place a grilled chicken breast on top.
Layer the Goodness: Add sliced avocado, tomato slices, and lettuce on each chicken breast. Top with two slices of crispy bacon and, if desired, dill pickle slices.
Drizzle with Hot Honey: Drizzle hot honey over each sandwich, adjusting the amount to your spice preference.
Top with the Buns: Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich to complete the assembly.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the sandwiches immediately while the buns are warm and flavors are fresh.

Notes

Feel free to substitute the type of bread with your favorite kind to cater to different tastes.
Using fresh ingredients will enhance the flavor of the sandwiches, so opt for ripe avocados and vine-ripened tomatoes.
For an added kick, use spicy mayo instead of the garlic aioli.
