Ingredients
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp ground sage
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
4 Tbsp barbecue sauce, or to taste
150 grams cheddar cheese, thinly sliced, or to taste
4 to 6 strips bacon, halved widthwise, cooked crisply, and drained well
4 leaf lettuce leaves
4 to 8 ripe tomato slices
