Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil and honey. Toss chicken breasts in this mixture until evenly coated, then let them sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle seasoned salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper over the chicken breasts. Rub spices into each piece.
  3. Preheat the gas grill to 425-450°F, cleaning and oiling the grates.
  4. Place seasoned chicken breasts on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Remove from heat, place cheese on each piece, and tent with foil for about 3 minutes to let the cheese melt.
  6. Mix together mayonnaise and ranch seasoning in a small bowl until well combined.
  7. Slice toasted buns and spread creamy ranch mayo on each cut-side. Layer lettuce, bacon, tomato slices, grilled chicken with melted cheese, red onion, and avocado. Top with the other half of the bun.
  8. Place assembled sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately.
