Ok, this Air Fryer Bacon Blue Cheese Chicken sandwich might be the best ever!!!! It’s one of those sandwiches that just thinking about it makes your mouth water!!!

Easy Bacon Blue Cheese Chicken Sandwich

I have to say we didn’t really feel great and really didn’t want to make dinner. So, we came up with this easy sandwich. Bacon and blue cheese are such a great combo as it is, and well, when you add an air fried crunchy chicken breast….You get a sandwich that will blow your friends and family away with the amazing flavor. I do think the next time we make it we might add an Avocado.

As I mentioned, this sandwich is seriously easy to make and will make everyone think you spent a long time making these yummy sandwiches. Hey, you can be like us….make everything and let our friends build their own sandwiches. After all, with this sandwich, the hardest part is actually building the sandwich. Haha

Ok, I’m a lover of bacon!!! I could have bacon ever morning for breakfast. My Mom used to always pan fry bacon. Now she knew how to pan fry bacon so it was always prefect. I never really figured out the trick to pan fry it to perfection. When I was a freshmen in High School, one of our teachers challenged us to eat breakfast everyday for a week. I grew up on a Dairy Farm and we all had chores to do early in the morning. My major chores were to feed the horses every morning. So usually I didn’t have time for Breakfast.

Of course wanting to make sure I followed what the teacher asked us to do, I hurried with my chores. Put some bacon in the fry pan, turned the oven on high, and ran upstairs to shower and get dressed. DON’T ever do that!!! I came downstairs to see my brother putting the fire out. Yes! I burnt up several cabinets in my parents kitchen. Oh, they had just finished remodeling the kitchen. Since I had a great brother, he hurried me out of the house and drove me to school. As if my parents would not notice the kitchen. As you can imagine, it was not cool that night after school!!!

Needless, to say I don’t like to pan fry bacon! So, normally I place the bacon on a cookie sheet and put it in a 375 degree oven and bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Works great!….Until now-the only way I’m making bacon is in the air fryer!

Air Fry Bacon for 6 minutes at 400 degrees. Flip and bacon and air fry for 4 more minutes. Perfect bacon and so easy to make!!! Oh, if you want some spice, sprinkle on some cayenne pepper before cooking. Nice spicy bacon! Perfect for this Bacon, Blue Cheese Chicken Sandwich!!!!
