   Scallion cream cheese40 g

   • 35 g Plain cream cheese
   • 5 g Scallion, finely sliced

   Boneless, skinless chicken breast100 g raw (about 75 g cooked)
4. 03
   Bacon2 thin slices (about 30 g raw)
5. TopEverything — top half

For preparation

• 5 ml (1 tsp) Olive oil, for the chicken pan

Before you start

1. Mix the cream cheese and scallion. Split one Everything bagel.
2. Use a thin chicken cutlet, about 1 cm thick, so it cooks evenly. Keep raw chicken separate from ready-to-eat ingredients and wash utensils after handling it.

Make it

1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and fully cooked, following its package instructions. Transfer to a clean plate.
2. In a separate skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 4–5 minutes per side, checking that its thickest part reaches 74°C / 165°F with a food thermometer. Time varies with thickness.
3. Rest the chicken on a clean board for 3 minutes, then slice across the grain.
4. Spread all the scallion cream cheese on the bottom bagel half. Add the sliced chicken, then the bacon. Close with the top half and serve.
