Steps:
- Combine the chicken breasts and 1/2 cup of the Mexican Style Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette in a resealable plastic bag. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Oil the grills grate or grill pan. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken, turning once, until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
- Spread the mayonnaise on the cut surfaces of the rolls. Slice the chicken and add to the rolls. Break the bacon in half and place on top of the chicken. Top with avocado and tomato slices, cilantro leaves and radishes. Drizzle each sandwich with 1 tablespoon of the remaining vinaigrette. Press the tops on the sandwiches.

Steps:
- 1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the oil, lime juice and cumin. Add the chicken; seal the bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- 2. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, cilantro, onion, salt, and pepper; chill until serving.
- 3. Drain and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken, covered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°. If grilling is not an option, you can broil these 4 inches from the broiler until they reach 170°.
- 4. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the buns. Layer with avocado, tomatoes, and chicken; replace the bun tops. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh cilantro and lime juice. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried cilantro, but the flavor will be less intense.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium heat. Just be sure to preheat the pan well before adding the chicken.
- To make the cilantro-lime sauce, you can use a food processor or blender. If you don't have either of those appliances, you can chop the cilantro and lime by hand.
- Serve the chicken sandwiches on toasted buns with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include avocado, tomato, onion, and cheese.
Conclusion:
These cilantro-lime chicken sandwiches are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a summer meal. The chicken is grilled to perfection and then topped with a flavorful cilantro-lime sauce. The sandwiches are served on toasted buns and can be customized with your favorite toppings. Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue or just looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, these cilantro-lime chicken sandwiches are sure to be a hit.
