    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. Cut a 16x16-inch sheet of heavy foil; roll or fold up edges of foil to form a 1-inch boarder; place in prepared baking pan. Spray both the parchment and foil with nonstick spray; set aside. 

    2. Pat chicken dry with paper towels; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Brush 2 tablespoons garlic aioli on both sides of chicken breasts. Place chicken on parchment paper in baking pan; bake for 15 minutes.

    3. Arrange bacon, in a single layer, on foil; bake chicken and bacon for 15 to 20 minutes or until bacon begins to crisp and chicken reaches 165 degrees.

    4. Meanwhile, place bread pieces in a medium bowl; drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss to coat.

    5. Place oven rack 4 inches from heat. Preheat broiler to HIGH. Carefully remove bacon and foil from baking pan; set aside. Place bread, lettuce and tomatoes in baking pan around the chicken.

    6. Broil bread, vegetables and chicken for 2 to 3 minutes or until bread and chicken are golden and crisp and vegetables are slightly charred.
