Prepare the herb mayonnaise by mixing mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, and salt.

Set up the grill with one side hot and the other side low or off for dome cooking.

Grill the marinated chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 150°F.

Layer sliced tomatoes on the bottom of the toast, followed by bacon, the grilled chicken, and sliced avocado.
