Remove chicken from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature.

Pound chicken breasts to even 3/4-inch thickness for uniform cooking results.

Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.

Drizzle olive oil over seasoned chicken and rub to coat evenly on both sides.

Preheat oven to 400°F and line sheet pan with parchment for bacon cooking.

Arrange bacon strips on prepared sheet pan without overlapping for even cooking.

Bake bacon for 15-18 minutes until crispy, checking halfway through cooking time.

Transfer cooked bacon to paper towels to drain excess fat and maintain crispness.

Heat grill or large skillet over medium-high heat for chicken cooking.

Cook seasoned chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Remove chicken from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Slice rested chicken diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces for sandwich assembly.

Toast bread slices in toaster or on griddle until golden brown and crispy.

Lay out toasted bread slices and spread mayonnaise or desired condiments evenly.

For bottom layer: place lettuce, tomato slices, and onion on first bread slice.

Add half the sliced chicken and half the bacon strips to bottom layer.

Place second bread slice on top and spread with additional condiments as desired.

Add remaining lettuce, sliced hard-boiled eggs, and any loaded additions like avocado.

Layer remaining chicken, bacon, and cheese slices for ultimate loaded experience.
