Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with your favorite seasoning blend.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil.
- Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

2. Cook the Bacon:
- In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy.
- Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Then, chop the bacon into small pieces.
3. Prepare the Avocado:
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, but still slightly chunky.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- To the mashed avocado, add the avocado mayonnaise and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.
- Add the chopped chicken and bacon to the avocado mixture.
- If desired, add hot banana peppers for a spicy kick.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently stir all the ingredients together until evenly distributed.
